[Asterisk-Users] Skype vs. an Xlite registered to Asterisk

[Michael Graves]

I second this...as a road warrior myself I find too many places where
SIP clients just won't work. So I rely on Firely over IAX2 which has
been 100% reliable.

Also, John Todd has been using the PSGW Skype<>SIP gateway software in
new and different ways. Perhaps that's an option.
