I stay clear of Skype for a couple of reasons...

1) It was banned traffic here for a long time, due to its use of P2P
networking infrastructure. On a decent wired connection such as at the
University, their bandwidth was being hit far more than necessary.

They do allow it now, if you have a NAT'd IP, but I've (thankfully) got
real IPs.

2) Skype is potentially a security black-hole, and goes to rather
extreme lengths to try and ensure you can't figure out what it is doing.


No. 1 is of course the most problematic.


Email is best for me, and for chatting, IRC. The #geda channel on
irc.seul.org would be best.

Best wishes,
