[Asterisk-Users] skype out

[Andrei (MPI)]

I've tried PSWG (latest version 3), enough to suggest that everyone 
should stay away from that app. Not stable.

I'm using SIP-to-Skype/Skype-To-SIP software gateway called Uplink 
(found in Wiki): http://nch.com.au/skypetosip/ - which is free and 
working great so far. Downsides are:
- you need to have a Windows PC, and you cannot have more than one call 
on this PC
- no support for DTMF (Asterisk does not recognize digits you press no 
matter what)

Skype-SIP latency is somewhat bearable.
