I've been asked to throw something out here on the list to see if anyone is using a Skype gateway of some sort. I know that quite a few people do trunk Skype into their existing TDM PBX platforms for connection to customer service lines, or for the odd road warrior who needs access to a DISA trunk. But is this widespread? Are the companies making the "hardware" units making reliable equipment? Does any carrier think that Skype calls through or into their network is a viable business in some way, or is it always a threat? Yes, Digium does offer a Skype software package that could be considered "competitive", but I'm actually somewhat interested to know if anyone is doing significant amounts of Skype trunking into their other TDM or VoIP networks. I'd welcome open discussion of this, since it's kind of an interesting operational question. If you feel like it, you can answer this short survey, too - http://bit.ly/skype-gateways http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Skype+Gateways JT disclaimer: it seems relevant to say that this is usually my .sig: --- John Todd email:jtodd at digium.com Digium, Inc. | Asterisk Open Source Community Director 445 Jan Davis Drive NW - Huntsville AL 35806 - USA direct: +1-256-428-6083 http://www.digium.com/
