Ekiga to Skype VOIP 2 VOIP

[Extreedoc]

So, I've just configured Ekiga and now I'm wondering if I can call my friend who is on Skype. I know my sip url but all I have is his Skype identity.

I don't think they're interoperable.

I don't think they're interoperable.

It doesn't surprise me but in the Ekiga help files it does say that you can connect to other providers, however, I suppose they have to be sip or H...whatever it is...compatible. Skype is rather like Microsoft in that they don't like letting other providers in to share the wealth.
Thanks for commenting Soltanis.
