asterisk users - Mar 2009 - Skype TO SIP (Was SIP to Skype)

Yes it can. For example anyone who calls me now on Skype at michaelGizmo5 it
will ring the IP phone connected to our Asterisk system, my SIP software and
my Nokia e71i wifi phone. It is really liberating to have my Skype identity
ring anywhere *I* like!

This is configured at my.gizmo5.com where the user enters in their Skype
credentials. Once they do that they will have the ability to forward their
calls to any SIP address.

This may be impractical for larger network use. For that scenario Gizmo5 is
building an API so that remote networks can easily activate the service
without requiring users to visit the Gizmo5 website. This will be part of
the commercial service for OpenSky. If you would like to test this, please
send me email.

I noticed a quote from you at GigOM:

"Even if this is complete vaporware at least their heart is in the
right direction. Last year they announced Skype for Asterisk which is
still not yet released and it?s unclear what the pricing will be.
Skype For SIP is similar in that it is not yet available and pricing
details are murky but both are steps in the right direction."

Om uses a title to his post that is something like "Michael Robertson
says SIP for 'Skype is vaporware'"

Is that what you were saying? Or did you mean "even if it were
vaporware"?

I've emailed you separately about something else.
