Ah, but how would you call someone who wasn't using Skype? That's where this VOIP thing falls apart. If you want to call someone who uses Skype, you need it as well, and vice versa. Then how many other systems do you also have, for your friends who use something that's not Skype? It's the same madness as ICQ vs MSN vs Yahoo vs Jabber... They don't talk to each other, and you'll never convince some people to use a different system. It's a bit shortsighted to think that you won't need anything else than Skype.
That is the beauty behind SIP providers like Gizmo and FWD. They openly peer with one another so you can call other users from a different provider just by using an "area code". That is the thing that sucks about Vonage (eventhough it uses SIP too) and Skype ... they don't provide these interconnections. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
