I personally refuse to use skype because of its proprietary and
peer-2-peer
nature. I dont want my voice calls routed through someone elses computer
using a protocol i cant review.
I personally would sugest that you use a standards compliant software say
kphone or ekigra and a service such as Free world dialup. they have
stun
servers which will help you with nat issues.
Are they available for Windows? Not everyone uses GNU/Linux, you know - in
fact, most people use Windows.
I live half way around the world from My family and have gone to the
lengths
of setting up an asterisk box at home connected to a pstn provider in
australia so that my non technical family members can pick up a regular
phone
and call me for the cost of a local call.
i also have it connected to a pstn provider in the US for localish service.
I'm afraid I didn't understand a word of what you said you did. And even if
I did, I don't think it's possible in Latin America, where I live.
