I can tell you that siptosis is workable but the support has been dropped
recently as well.

It is a great program and especially the paid version with trunk builder
i.e. you can have multiple skype instances

You would be better off persuading Skype users to transition to something else.

Skype is the absolute antithesis of the whole point of telephony, which is to 
connect people together.  This includes, implicitly, the ability for 
subscribers on one telecommunications provider's network to call subscribers
on another network.  Imagine if, say, Vodafone subscribers were unable to call 
up BT subscribers?  Well, this is *exactly* what Skype are trying to create by 
keeping their protocols proprietary.

Of course there remains a small but finite probability that Skype will be 
successfully reverse-engineered, the Source Code leaked, or Skype's owners 
forced to publish its communications protocols before the 2013 deadline.  But 
it would be extreme folly to bet the family farm on this happening.

It's time to start seriously evaluating Asterisk-compatible alternatives to 
Skype.

1.  Migrate your Skype users over to a better product which supports proper 
open standards.  

2.  Write to your elected representatives asking that they order Skype to 
release documentation on their protocols to allow third party interoperability  
(as is already required under EU law).

perhaps you missed it, but the installed base of skype is unfortunately
slightly (,,,) larger than the amount of peope that are using a decent
product. Alas

Hi Alex,

replace with anything which could make Asterisk connect to Skype 
network, make and receive calls, etc...the usual stuff.
