<p dir="ltr">Following the hint from ThunderZ, I can announce a rough solution (I&#39;ll document it better next week):</p>
<p dir="ltr">1) you install the skype client downloaded by <a href="http://install.pl">install.pl</a> in a regular desktop linux<br>
2) you load skypopen.ko and make the /dev/ device as per start-skype-clients script<br>
3) you start the skype instance on desktop<br>
4) you connect to the skype net with username and password and set the &quot;login at startup&quot; checkbox<br>
5) you compile the client.c you found in configs dir of the mod_skypopen source, as per the first line of the client.c file<br>
6) you exec the client.c program you just compiled<br>
7) you give the skype client authorization to be connected from skypopen application and check the &quot;no ask again&quot; checkbox<br>
8) you exec the client.c program again to be sure it connect no problem<br>
9) you save a copy of the entire ~/.Skype directory<br>
10) you use that copy as a substitute of /usr/local/freeswitch/skypopen/skype_clients_configuration_dir/skype101 to skypeN (eg you copy it N times to skype101 skype102 etc)<br>
11) you modify the startup_skype_clients.sh script so it simply launches the skype client, without username and password on stdin and without --pipelogin option</p>
<p dir="ltr">It takes a little time and patience, but it works.<br>

    <div>Yes.  With no initial configurations,
      it works every time via GUI, although there is a  long delay of a
      few minutes to login the first time.   The subsequent logins are
