And don't use Skype unless you absolutely have to. Their support for
linux has been crap and they don't play with anyone else. Try Gizmo or,
even better, the new Ekiga which will register with multiple providers.
There are Ubuntu packages:

## Ekiga stable
## deb http://pkg-voip.buildserver.net/ubuntu breezy main

And there is are packages for breezy and dapper amd64

Cheers,
Alan
