Yes, the quality of MS-GSM for windows is not good at all. You should
use G.711 instead, however it will eat your bandwidth. A good
alternative would be GM on Win32, we are working on it.

If you want to compare with Skype to Skype connections, then please
compare it with GnomeMeeting to GnomeMeeting connections, not with
GnomeMeeting to Netmeeting connections. Also disable video. Then the
comparison will be interesting.
