It may be an issue with your PC rather than with Skype (maybe Dialup doesn't provide quite enough bandwidth).

309787 2005-01-02 07:54:00 I use it often, quality for me is excellent
I would try another microphone, also dialup is probably too slow for great quality & your modem may also be causing interference
Plus your soundcard might not be up to the task
