Re: [orca-list] working with skype

Does your setup let someone communicate with you using Skype or, can you
only communicate with others who use that service?  I've heard of Asterisk.
Some sort of a telephone switchboard, right?  Isn't SIP just a protocol
though?  How would I talk to my uncle in Honduras, my cousin in Miami and my
uncle in Orlando from my home in Dallas without anyone racking up a long
distance bill the way Skype lets me do?  Can you do video calls?  We do
those  a lot so the family can see the kids.

Under Debian, the server side is in the mumble-server package and is
undoubtedly free as in freedom.

I use SIP for all of my VoIP communications, with a fairly intricate
FreeSWITCH configuration. I've also used Asterisk in the past but I migrated
to FreeSWITCH.
