Supposedly kphone works with other SIP phones (Skype isn't SIP -- it's
some proprietrary crap) but I haven't been able to get it to work with
Free World Dialup (http://www.pulver.com/fwd/).

Welcome to lock_in hell

Skype is frowned on in the communications industry as its not a joint
standard and it tied into one company ** cough ms word cough **. SIP and
H.323 (and some derivative standards) are fully supported by
CISCO/Linux/NEC/SAMSUNG/ALCATEL just to name a few. There are Linux VoIP
telephones on sale in Australia ( ZIP Phone comes to mind ) so avoid
those nasty single company Internet things your just locking yourself
for a wallet emptying experience.

Skype is proprietry/closed AFAIK, so someone woul dhave to reverse engineer the 
protocol.

As far as other VoIP protocols:

H323 - OpenH323.org has quite a few aps
IAX  - (Inter Asterisk eXchange) see asterisk.org, clients include gnophone
SIP  - (there should be some...)

Asterisk is a nice VoIP and hardphone PBX, they've just released 0.7.0, many people 
have been using it
in production environments.

cheers
