[asterisk-biz] Asterisk with Skype

[Storm D. J. Petersen]

LOL

I think he meant the FWD Communicator and not the FWD service.

As for skype, it's a reality that people have to accept - at least for the
near foreseeable future.  It's pretty and simple to use.  That is what made
it so popular.  The old M$ strategy.  It works.  Given its unquestionable
popularity, it would be nice to have asterisks bridge with its network.
Question is, how long will it take till someone comes up with a publicly
shared reversed engineered library for its protocol?

FWD came later than Skype? Jeff would have something to say about that
- check your history books.
