No, you need the Skype client for OSS. Is downloaded and installed automatically by the installer. (or you can look into the installer and see where you can download it).
Any other pros, like less CPU usage, or other for oss version?
I found less CPU usage, better stability, and no overhead from ALSA.
btw, any info on the biggest known skypopen installation, like 10 running clients, 100 clients, or more?
I always test with 20 concurrent clients (I registered 20 skypeusernames before the registration procedure has become so burdening as today). I will test soon or later with more (maybe also many more) but the very boring thing is that you need many different Skype username for testing. I mean: you can have a server that has 100 instances of the same skypeusername (let's say Bob), but the incoming calls must come from Alice, Adam, etc... So I will need to find the patience to register with the skype network let's say 100 skypeusernames to test 100 concurrent calls. Another way to test would be to have a skypeusername with some credit for skypeout, and use let's say 100 instances to call skypeout on PSTN. Any other ideas on how to proceed for scalability tests? -giovanni -- Sincerely, Giovanni Maruzzelli Cell : +39-347-2665618
