Stay away from Skype! It is a toxic, proprietary product. The lack of interoperability by design is the antithesis of what a telecommunication system should be about -- and the extent to which they have gone to thwart any attempt at interoperability is truly shocking. For connecting two Asterisk installations to each other over the Internet, IAX is better than SIP -- that's what it was designed for. -- AJS Note: Originating address only accepts e-mail from list!
