There are "bridging" software that will bring Skype calls into a SIP world. These are crude. I tried PSGW some months ago. In general they hook into the Skype API requiring that you have Skype installed and running on a Windows system. Then they intercept the calls to the audio hardware and redirect them to what is essentially a SIP soft phone. It decodes the Skype call then re-encodes as G.711 and feeds it to Asterisk as a SIP call.
This process introduces a lot of latency. Too much to be acceptable for my use. Also, it only worked one call at a time, so trunking was not possible. And of course, you need a Windows box running Skype. Seems more trouble than its worth. There are now at least four different software products that try to do about the same thing. All work in essentially the same manner.
