DUNDi sounds great!
Now all we need is a cross platform DUNDi aware "IAX Proxy"
Package DUNDi, the proxy and an IAX client in one simple to use client 
and we have an open Skype replacement.

If the proxy is clever enough it might allow for special routing of 
calls, e.g. routing over 4 hops using proxies with fast connections 
rather than direct point to point via a slow link with no QOS.

I cant wait for the day when I can direct my family and friends at a 
site to download a client with these features.
Then they can create accounts for themselves and start calling me and 
each other.

Chris.
