To be honest, even if it were using an open protocol such as VOIP-SIP, Skype would be unlikely to get much of the Linux market. For calling landlines, Skype is very expensive compared to VOIP-SIP providers such as www.sipgate.co.uk or www.webcalldirect.com (which has 300 minutes a week of inclusive landline calls, to most of the Western world, providing you deposit at least 6 quid every 3 months). I wrote a HowTo on setting up a Linux-powered VOIP-SIP router, the Linksys SPA3102 (40 quid), so you can make free/cheap calls from your existing BT landline using normal BT extensions and handsets, whilst still receiving incoming calls on your existing BT number. http://www.aoakley.com/articles/2008-01-08.php -- Andrew Oakley -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
