<FONT SIZE="2" POINTSIZE="11" DEFAULT="SIZE">At least two such Skype gatewats already have been written. I have tried PSWG but not been happy with the results. The principle works by decoding the Skype call using a Skype client (requires Windows PC with Skype logged in) and using some faux audio drivers in the host system to pass the audio streams Asterisk (or any registrar/proxy) via SIP.<BR>

There's a lot of latency implicit in this process. That adds delay to the call. For me it was not a good solution. Others may have fared better.<BR>
