This might not help reliability, but the new asterisk 1.8 supposedly
supports skype. They may have some setting that you could dial in that
could make things more reliable. You could use that to get the call on a
real phone or forwarded to you cell. You could also increase your
reliability by offloading your skype calls to a data center. :)

moin moin,
I have to use skype chat ( bleah, bleah, bleah! ) and calling for $dayjob.
Mostly just chat and that's now bearable with the pidgin plug-in.
I do have to participate in voice-only conference calls. In the past that
worked fine. I had also made a couple of test one to one calls.
My connection has been dropping out. Several times during a one-hour
call. Most of the calls have been made from an atom box on a cable
connection. The entire network connection drops out and it appears that
the cable-modem and linksys router have problems at that point.
A couple of times I switched to using my Android hotspot from my laptop
and things seemed to work fine.
Today I started out on that and still had problems.
Any suggestions on how to get better reliability out of Skype?
I did not check top today, but in the past things didn't get to out of
hand on the atom box.
If you want to suggest alternatives to Skype please start a new thread :).
I'm interested in alternatives, but they won't suffice as a replacement
for Skype in this particular circumstance.
ciao,
