From: Chad Howsden on 29 Jul 2010 14:12 Hello, I am writing in regards to the skype port for FreeBSD. I currently have the most recent build of FreeNAS running on a newer server box. If you are unaware, FreeNAS is built off of the FreeBSD system. I have successfully installed and configured numerous ports from the freebsd.org site and am currently interested in the skype application. I am wondering if the application is has a command line interface as I don't have an operating system GUI with the FreeNAS server. I am looking to set up a skype server that allows me to free up my personal PC from having the phone connected to it. I plan to use a usb to RJ11 skype adapter with the application to allow me to utilize my phone set I already own. For a more detailed explanation, I plan to do what is done in this article only on my FreeNAS/FreeBSD box instead of a Linux box. Could you provide any insight into whether or not I will be able to accomplish this given the information I have shared with you? I'm a little nervous about frying everything as I have not played around with the skype app yet and am unsure of any glitches or "watch-out-fors" regarding it.

I don't think you can do it with the current skype. However search for the description of skype's API on skype.com. There is some WIP for a partially open-sourced version, that might permit this, but nothing it's out yet. -- IOnut - Un^d^dregistered ;) FreeBSD "user" "Intellectual Property" is nowhere near as valuable as "Intellect" FreeBSD committer -> itetcu(a)FreeBSD.org, PGP Key ID 057E9F8B493A297B |
