"Do we have any way to pull it away from skype? as skype is a closed 
format, closed software and countless other own your soul kind of business 
can we use something less closed? does sip/ekiga have anything available?
Best Regards, Martin Owens"

I didn't really know about ekiga.  Now that's pretty neat.  A quote from 
their site:

"1.1.4. What is it compatible with?
Ekiga is compatible with any software, device or router supporting SIP or 
H.323. It includes SwissVoice, CISCO, SNOM, ... IP Phones, but also 
software like Windows Messenger, Netmeeting, SJPhone, Eyebeam, X-Lite, ... 
or also the Asterisk popular IPBX, as well as any other commercial or Open 
Source IPBX. Ekiga is not compatible with Skype and will never be as long 
as their protocol will stay proprietary. We do not think using closed 
protocols for communications is a good thing. "

Good tip man.  I'm going to have to play around with this app.
