>>  Running multiple instances (MAX 6) of the same Skype username on Linux,

>>
>> *MAX 6 INSTANCES PER SKYPENAME* (you can have many skypenames, each one

>> concurrent skype clients, myskypenameB is used by 6 concurrent skype
>> clients, myskypenameC is used by 6 concurrent skype clients, total 36
>> concurrent instances on your machine)
>>
>> On Linux, you can run multiple instances of the same Skype username (eg:
>> multiple Skype clients that register with the Skype networks as the same
>> username, eg: 6 instances of the username "Bob"). On Windows, is not
>> possible.
>>
>> Please use the *INTERACTIVE INSTALLER*, it will setup all (download and
>> install the correct Skype client, script to start the Skype clients, Skype
>> client configs, skypopen.conf.xml config file).
>>
>> The trick is to launch the client instances with separate Xservers (as
>> always with multiple clients) AND separate directories for the Skype
>> client's database (eg: by default it resides in the ".Skype" directory in
>> the user's home).
>>
>> You can find an example configuration file and launch scripts in
>> configs/multiple-instance-same-skype-username/ directory.
