Skype-SIP gateway

asteriskgatewaysipskypesoftphone

Does anyone know if you can setup a Skype-to-SIP gateway on your network?

I tried Uplink, which works wonders, but only on Windows and with Skype on the same machine… It would be awesome if you could put that program on any machine and then use it as a gateway for Skype, from another machine. With port forwarding maybe?

Basically I'm trying to use Skype in Linux as a softphone for our Asterisk PBX. Are there any other solutions? Without going into Asterisk maybe?

If you can keep your Asterisk PBX in the game, it looks like Skype is interested. The Skype for SIP Beta program maybe what you're after. This way, any SIP or IAX2 client may have Skype incoming and outgoing access.
