Minimum Bandwith for VoIP

I have access to two dialup internet connections, one that runs over a 56k modem, and one that runs on a 56k modem with an "accelerator" that boosts connection speeds to 128k.

I'm interested in using the internet to communicate by voice with my long distance girlfriend. I could talk from my computer to a phone line, or directly to her computer through a program (I don't know any programs except for Net Meeting and AIM, any suggestions?). I'm pretty flexible with that, if it reduces the bandwith requirements.

Does anyone know if I will be able to have a decent conversation over a 56k or accelerated 56k to 128k connection?

Thanks!
