[Freeswitch-users] NEW skypopen installer and easy Skype client download, Skype calls on FreeSWITCH in one minute

[Anton VG]

Giovanni,

the kernel module provides just a sound device? So it means version of
skype needed is the same, just OSS one can be used instead?
Any other pros, like less CPU usage, or other for oss version?

btw, any info on the biggest known skypopen installation, like 10
running clients, 100 clients, or more?
