Others have done the same, previously, on a smaller (single user) basis and have linked these adapters to Asterisk: UpLink <a href="http://www.nch.com.au/skypetosip/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nch.com.au/skypetosip/index.html</a> RSDevs PSGW <a href="http://www.rsdevs.com/psgw.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.rsdevs.com/psgw.shtml</a> RSDevs has been promising a "multi-user" gateway for a while, but that is probably vaporware. UpLink is a very slick package, but for Windows. I'd be interested to see a more detailed description of how the Pika software actually works - their docs are a bit on the vague side as to the actual functions and components, but that is pretty much the case for everyone's Skype gateway product, because when you get down to it, they're all just layers on Skype's API and a modified sound driver glue on the Windows side.

Alec Saunder has a write-up on it: “What I saw was a Skype user ID routing calls into Asterisk, to IVRs, ordinary Asterisk extensions, conference rooms and so on. What that means is that businesses running Asterisk (think EBay sellers), can publish a Skype ID as well as an ordinary phone number, and Skype users will come in through the standard phone system — CRM and all.” [...] [...] – Canadian phone company Pika has developed a technical solution to combine Skype and an Asterisk server.
