sipX is not really poised to address the needs of a residential user. It's really aimed at corporate communications. To that end, the sipxbridge and media relay functions that allow trunking and remote users are built-in to allow easy connectivity for this type of use case. I do not know of anyone using sipXecs for skype on a personal account. I am not aware of anyone asking for a residential connector for skype in sipx until now. Your use case might be unique and simply may not generate a lot of interest. In our customer base there is "zero" interest in Skype from a commercial connectivity standpoint. A lot of corporate customers feel skype is problematic because it does not adhere to a lot of US laws, and by bringing it into their network it creates a lot of issues. Not having a centralized network or being able to answer a law enforcement intercept request is a big issue with some firms, so is e911. Solving one thing and generating a lot of legal issues to take a single easy step around something is nto always in their favor. Since Skype "personal" is not sip in the loosest sense, I don't know how easy that would be to integrate to sipx as an independent gateway. I find regular ITSP's cheap enough. 1.50 per month for a DID number and around a penny per minute. Skype is usually a lot more than that for voice, so guess it just doesn't get discussed much. -- ===================== Tony Graziano, Manager Telephone: 434.984.8430 sip: mailto:[email protected][/email][/email] Fax: 434.984.8431 Email: mailto:[email protected][/email][/email] _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users/
