[asterisk-users] Optimizing this script for calling Skype users from Asterisk

[Michael Robertson]

I have written this configuration script which uses OpenSky to make Skype
calls directly from Asterisk devices using my companies SIP to Skype
gateway. Users can dial skype_anyskypeusername or manually add names or
extensions which can get mapped to the correct dialing sequence. The right
sequence is username at opensky.gizmo5.com but that gets mapped to sipphone
address so I set that up to map directly to the final address.

I need a couple test sites so if anyone wants to test Skype calling on their
Asterisk network please send me email and I'l enable longer calling. Also in
the 2 hard coded examples below  (563 and echo) i want to also reference
gizmo5 and not repeatedly have proxy01.sipphone. Can someone tell me how to
construct the tightest syntax for that? Thanks.
