I'm just looking for something that'll keep and dial a small list of phone numbers, and I'm not very fond of the one that comes with Windows XP. Are there any good freeware alternatives?

You mean "dialer.exe"? What in particular is it that you don't like about it? Just curious.

Mostly the bloat, which is to say everything that goes beyond presenting me with a list of names and phone numbers and dialing them for me -- the "internet directories," "conference room," "animated "dial windows," etc. -- but also the hideous Explorer-like interface, which forces me to use big-ass icons for my contacts instead of a simple list of names.

I don't have a modem in my computer anymore, so I've never used XP's dialer. Just looked at it and man, you are so right.
I hope you found something you like.
