If I redownload an old version of skype from somewhere, maybe
oldversion.com, will it still work? I'm thinking of going net-based
instead of cable for long distance calls and going with a cheap line for
local so that I can still save money by downgrading my TV package. What
is accessible and cheap like skype for PC to phone? Only thing I know of
is going to involve buying some device to hook my phone into and put
inside a machine running linux and asterisk. I have my old machine still
here that I intend to use linux and speakup on, but heard that software
is a bear to configure. It seems that yahoo and aim need the graphic
thing filled out to get phone on there, and I don't think msn does phone
at all, windows messenger in XP.

hi:
Nowadays skype is still not accessible for us. But is there any way to
communicate with our friends whom used skype by using our console
programs?
No, Skype, using a proprietary protocol, does not
allow for any other apps than Skype itself to use their network...
Its part of their bussiness model.
Forget about skype, use SIP or H323 of even CallManager or
whatever. There are plenty of free VoIP protocols around.
