Skype Journal: Connecting to SIP and Skype Forwarding

February 24, 2005 09:23 AM

It's not clear yet what this announcement on Cidav means. There are some similarities to MrBlog's most recent post on owning your own phone system.

So take a standard Linksys router and toss this free code on it, and you have yourself your own SIP proxy server. No more NAT problem (the router has a real IP address and and can properly map to all SIP phones on the NAT LAN). It's open (not locked to a provider). This allows one to simultaneously use whatever services and PSTN termination provider one likes, in any mix and match fashion you like. Mr Blog Entry - 02/22/2005: It's here, the user owned phone system

Cidav Digital had obtained a Ministry of Communications license to market a new imported communications router. The new router is intended for Skype Technologies SA subscribers. The new device makes it possible for Skype users to transfer calls to a handset or ordinary landline Bezeq telephone for both incoming and outgoing calls. Globes

I wonder when the Skype-SIP gateway will appear? Along with a Skype module for Asterix.

Anyone who's evangelised Skype will be familiar with being attacked by VoIP fanatics. Well I'd really like to see Skype interoperate with SIP services. But in the mean time, I think it's up to the SIP people to produce something as good as Skype.
