Skype uses iLBC codec, which has great jitter compensation.  IIRC, the
newer SIP channels of * are supposed to have the same capabilities, but
I have not tested.  I really do not like Skype (prefer FWD), but I must
say, over satellite, etc, they provide quality..  All about the codec in
this case..
