I think just like a lot of things, the Skype-Asterisk bridge idea isn't for everyone. Right now I'm testing a piece of Mac software that allows me to bridge Skype and SIP by connecting the Skype client with X-Lite on one box. It works fine, but with a little lag (maybe 1sec) , obviously. I'm sure things will be easier when this new system goes public. I'd be happy to license a channel or a few channels if the price is right, just like I did with g729. I don't need to konw what's in the black box, but I know many of you out there do for various reasons. We'd all need to know what the implication of the peer to peer model are on your asterisk box. As time goes on, we'll learn more about the details, financial model, etc. Until then, I suppose it's inevitable that some (not directed at those on this thread) will immediately start bitching about things that are not actually decided yet. And what about video? Tune in Friday at Noon Eastern with all the bitching, conjecture and fears or joy. r http://voipusersconference.org _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
