[LUG] skype: non-free but interesting



http://www.skype.com/download_linux.html

I have tried the linux client of Skype, a VoIP client. What's different
about this and say Gnome meeting is that it seems to punch through a
NAT and firewalls:

I am sure opensource will quickly catch up:

But as for a "technology preview" Skype has got me all excited about
VoIP again. It does however lead to a dry throat though and the novelty
soon wears thin. :)
