Some good insights into Skype for Asterisk.
Regards
Lee
Excerpt from the article:
Chair: All right, Skype and Asterisk, what does it mean for business communications? Founder and CTO of Digium, Mark.
Mark: Thank you. Asterisk and Skype is probably not a pairing that a lot of you guys might have thought about a year ago. You would have thought about, "Wow, it would be nice," but didn't seem much like a reality. It is exciting that we have it now getting closer to being a reality.
First of all, what is Skype for Asterisk? You're used to SIP and SIP let's you talk to SIP devices, and Skype let's you talk to Skype devices, which pretty much is, of course, just Skype. It is a generic channel driver for Asterisk, so it supports most of the things that Asterisk channel drivers already support. There is no special programming or anything; you just install it an you can use it.
