Re: [orca-list] Orca, Skype etc.

There are some SIP providers that can interface to Skype, though some  
charge for that service.
Realistically, a lot of blind users do use Skype, it's accessible on  
both the Windows and Macintosh platforms. If your sister wishes to use  
Skype, she'll either need to set up the Pidgin plugin or find a SIP  
service that allows communication with the skype network.

   The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a  
thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot  
possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to  
get at or repair.
