Yes. Doing it regularly. Not D&D, but DSA (a german roleplay system) but it works. You need people that you trust though... because rolling dices is a problem. Also cameras make the experience better.
Tried it once upon a time. Works okay, but webcams are a must. Even then, it's so-so. Difficult for DM to assess combat grid, cover applicability, flanking, cast distance, etc when you don't have a board and tokens in front of you. It can also lead to problems with honesty (unless you have a great group) when it comes to dice rolls.

Ive not had the chance to try it, but its free and looks awesome
Then again, this looks like a solid way to fix all of those problems. Actually, this looks amazing. Thanks for sharing!
There's some very useful programs for running D&D Sessions over the 'net. Take a poke at the RPTools website (http://www.rptools.net/), if you like. They've got a program that lets the DM set up a virtual map that everyone can access. It could help out with managing the combat side of it.
Just don't ask me how it works, because I haven't the faintest idea.
Back in .84 some of us used to run a bit but it's incredibly hard to schedule sessions and get everyone together. Few names that comes to mind was Bluntpencil, Del, Sprolf and Bjorn.
Wish I had time to play again but DnD demands a lot.
