Looks like Skype to me.
I see it has a rotary dialler --- them old style fingers loved to fit in them little holes.

Indeed, croghan27 that was my first thought - skype it is and it's almost free. No wonder Bell wants UBB. My SIP account (which gives me a 647 areacode) costs less than $.01 a minute and Skype with video is free if to whom I place the call is also a skype user. Plus my Skype "telephone" can also run video games and download music and rather than being wall mounted can fold flat and be carried easily to a local coffee shop. Yay for the future. Oh, and it has created a whole new social category - camwhores. What's not to like!
