Oh, I believe you - but the friend is in the middle of CHINA, with
constraints on the software and hardware available on their machine,
and an existing need for skype to communicate with work colleagues
both inside and outside China. I've got to fit in with them is the
reality. Given that I have to use it... a demo at a LUG of getting a
Linux machine to do VOIP in general, and co-operate with skype user on
Windows in particular, would be cool.
