Of course. I got Skype running on OpenBSD http://www.daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=2616&highlight=Skype+OpenBSD >tia >elmar The problem is that you can only use chat. You can NOT use VoIP since OpenBSD does not have enough Linux emulation even for old Skype v 1.2 compiled with static OSS(Linux version) let alone v. 2.xxx which requires Alsa. This is how we do VoIP on OpenBSD http://www.ryanflannery.net/howtos/obsd_voicechat.php You can also get old Skype version 1.2 compiled with static OSS if you look hard enough on the Internet and add the support to Linux emulator layer if you have enough programming skill. I am sure Jake and Alexander will give you their notes about aucat and tell you what needs to be done. Cheers, Predrag
