Well, in its true sense it is not a PBX, as it does not support any telephony interfaces and protocols. It is primarily a tool to manage multiple Skype users through a common web interface, using Skype APIs, thus creating a PBX like solution.<br /><br />Functional Objectives<br /><br />- Administration<br />o Manage User Accounts<br />o Manage Contact List<br />o Manage User Classes<br /><br />- End User<br />o Check User's availability Status<br />o Make/Receive Calls<br />o Leave/Check Voice Mail<br /><br />It is based on open architecture, thus making it easy to integrate with any other applications like Intranet Portals, CRMs, Group Collaboration softwares etc.<br /><br />For further details checkout <a href="http://skypeji.sourceforge.net/">http://skypeji.sourceforge.net/</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">First alpha release is scheduled for July 13th, 2005</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9026812-112011402777890063?l=things-on-my-mind.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Prabhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11074769586003225205noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026812.post-1119409065487849602005-06-21T22:57:00.000-04:002005-06-22T22:38:58.166-04:00<a href="http://www.techweb.com/wire/networking/164901544#_">TechWeb | News | Skype Service Is Blocked In Middle East Country</a><br /><br /><strong>Now why would you do that?</strong><br />.... governments go out of their way to "protect" these big corporations so that they don't loose money. doh!<br />There is no doubt that skype is in this to make money as well, but atleast its giving customers a cheap alternative.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9026812-111940906548784960?l=things-on-my-mind.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Prabhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11074769586003225205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026812.post-1119188365647861412005-06-19T09:39:00.000-04:002005-06-21T23:02:57.530-04:00<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/click_online/4102692.stm">BBC NEWS | Programmes | Click Online | How Skype and Kazaa changed the net</a>...nothing technical, but still a good read.<br /><br />Here is another interesting plugin for skype, <a href="http://www.vskype.com/">video skype (vskype)</a>, which enables video chat.
