I just checked out Officezilla and it looks like exactly what I've been searching for. Has anyone else tried it out?

I had never heard of OfficeZilla, so I checked it out. OfficeZilla offers users unlimited disk space, and that's a definite plus. It does not let users sync with Outlook, but that's the only potential drawback I found. I can't believe it's free!

Thank you both for the great list. Since I am unable to access the resource thread as of yet this would do fine for now. But this is some very great info.

This was an EXCELLENT post, I utilized a few of the freebies, the OfficeZilla is a great resource. I also signed up for the free fax via k7.net as faxdigits isn't working any longer. Thank You !

And Skype works great as well. If the other person (your client) has Skype it's free but even for a number for 3 months it's only about $18 bucks and for unlimited calling for 3 months I paid about $8 bucks, well worth it!
