Yes, that software does look interesting - I did download it once but haven't played with it yet. From what I understand, this still requires a skype application running on X, there instuctions for using vnc server for X. Here is a link to a fella who reports success, or at least his notes on setting it up with trixbox: http://www.timhunt.com/stuff/chanskype/chanskype-trixbox.tgz

I have looked at both but I think there is a better solution called chanskype which I am interested in. It comes as a driver running in the asterisk box and it can do as many skype session as your system can handle in terms of resources. I wonder if you or anyone has experience with www.chanskype.com ? thanks, Richard ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sacha Panasuik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Richard (Rogers @ work)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 10:34 AM Subject: Re: [on-asterisk] Bridging Asterisk - Skype > Richard, > > I've been thinking about doing that for the last little while, since I have some family using skype The solutions are out there but they all seem to require the skype software phone to be running either on a linux or a windows computer. The additonal software that glues sip (connected to asterisk) and the skype software, and takes over control of the skype application.
