While I agree with what others have said about Skype being evil, you can
find another alternative at http://nerdvittles.com/?p=5671

I do not use Skype but I use some of his other stuff and for the most part
it "Just works"

Hope this helps.

True, but it's still working if you follow the instructions carefully! 
:)  If you know of another FREE alternative let me know. I think there 
is also something available for FreeSWITCH. The only problem with 
SipToSis that I found is that if you run it in a VM (KVM in my case), 
and have more than 1 concurrent call going on, the audio of the second 
call will drift away and become asynchronous after a few seconds into 
the call. Couldn't find a fix so I set up several VMs for multiple 
concurrent calls. :D  If you use a dedicated server you probably won't 
have that issue...

Don't know about chat - but Skype chat is evil anyway.

No; because by design, Skype is proprietary and closed, and takes various 
extreme measures to block out all attempts to interoperate with it, or even to 
try to work out how to.  This is the absolute antithesis of telecommunications  
(when you buy an ordinary analogue phone, you take for granted that it will be 
compatible with any telco's wires; and when you buy a SIM, you take for 
granted that it will fit any manufacturer's handset),  but obviously it's good 
for the whole profit thing.

> What is the software that I can use to send and receive chat

Actual Skype on one device that thinks it's talking to a headset; but is 
actually plumbed into a soundcard on another device, running a softphone 
client that adheres to published standards  (which are, after all, the only 
standards Asterisk can possibly follow).


If that sounds like an overly-complex solution, just tell your correspondents 
to use something other than Skype.  It's what everyone else is doing, pending 
someone hacking the Skype protocols open or leaking the Source Code.


Skype is NOT nice.  Skype is evil, proprietary and toxic.  It is the bully who 
pretends to be your friend, then gets you into trouble.  Run, don't walk, away 
from it.

[asterisk-users] Integration with skype

2013-05-23 Thread bilal ghayyad
Hello;

There is no free channel to be used to have integration between asterisk and 
skype? What is the software that I can use to send and receive chat messages on 
skype network?

Regards
Bilal
