Comment Skype Connect works just fine (Score 1) 271
We've been using the Skype Connect business service for several months. Works great on our Switchvox (asterisk-based phone server with nice GUI). All it takes is to connect as a standard SIP client to Skype after setting up the account with them.
It seems they are just simplifying their offerings, as you don't need any sort of plugin to asterisk to accomplish this.
