Depends. In Ohio it's legal (except if you are an attorney, in which case, there are ethical issues involved).
Some states require both parties' consent. I am not certain which state's law would apply in a conversation between residents of different states. But to be prudent in that case, I would take the approach that it is prohibited to tape unless both parties consent.
Hope that answers the question
