ENCRYPTED from Skype to Skype? Mine says it's encrypted. Who am I talking
to if you can't even tell it's a phone call, not a file transfer?? NSA
also has more important things to worry about than being tax police
bureaucrats.


Well, not really a problem, as NSA's Mainframes look at ALL the IP
traffic coming into or out of each SAT Transponder, and can, and do,
archive all that data for later analysis, if needed. They don't really
care what IP Port the traffic is using, as that doesn't really come into
play, except on the receiving computer end, anyway. NSA's Cyrptic
Section, regularly deals with much "Meaner" cyphers that what Skype uses
in the datastream of their IP Phone drivers. They may not be doing
"Realtime" Decrypting, but if they have need to, it is really easy, and
very possible.

Actually Skype is another "secret" program developed by the NSA to lull
the terrorist into thinking that they can have a secure internet
connection. It's encryped but with a NSA key.

can anyone provide me "step by step" info and how to subscribe to
Skype and what equipment I would need to buy?
Thanks, J



When you get it running, J, call me on Skype. Search on my ham call w4csc
to find me.... We'll test it out.

Skype can do more than that even. When I Skype to Skype a friend on
Tortola and his computer doesn't answer it tries his land line. If that
doesn't answer after 4 or 5 rings it tries his cell. You just can't hide
anywhere! :-)

A Skype friend of mine and I were fooling around trying out different
combinations of calls, this afternoon.....

My Skype In is set to forward all my calls to my cellular phone when
Skype In calls my computer and the computer isn't available, as a matter
of fact, I simply hibernated WinXP Pro on my laptop for the test without
logging off my Skype client at all. Hibernation is great on the laptop,
Skype and the Linksys CIT200 interface and all as it boots right back up
and logs on perfectly...without having to reboot the whole computer.

Werner, a Swiss friend of mine, called me on Skype-to-Skype with the
computer hibernated and offline. Skype In worked perfectly, taking even
the Skype-to-Skype call and forwarding the internet only call to my
cellular phone forwarding number, immediately!

Someone had their whole head screwed on when they coded this software and
the server software for Skype. Way cool, internet VoIP to cellular
interface for $38/YEAR! Amazing....(c;

If my computer is offline, and I call my Skype In phone number from the
cellular it forwards to, Alltel dumps the call into the cellular phone
voicemail box, right on cue. If I don't answer the forwarded Skype call,
either via VoIP or to my Skype In number, and I don't answer the
cellphone, all the Skype In calls go to cellular voicemail for mobile
retrieval, anyways. If the computer is online, but I have Skype's status
set to Do Not Disturb or Unavailable or a mode like that, Skype dumps the
calls to the cellular voicemail when I don't answer it either....

Setup this way, Skype friends can call me, from anywhere on the planet
for free, even if I'm out mobile without the computer on wifi, now.....
(c; On unlimited nights/weekends/holiday or after 9PM EDT on the
cellphone, the call costs nothing!, even from Hong Kong!

Clearly you don't have a lot of experience with Caribbean Internet service if
you're asking that question...Having just spent the past 7 months in
Honduras, Belize and the Bahamas, I can assure you that the quality of calls
varies tremendously minute to minute. In general we could hear fine, but our
transmission was often unreadable. We went back to using our Iridium at
$1.25/min due to this.

Many of the connections were over DirecWay (now Hughes) satellite connections
and there's a large propagation delay on top of large packet losses. On the
rare occasion where we had a DSL connection, things worked better, but in
general the networks are heavily loaded. Don't confuse US broadband
connections with what you find in the Caribbean. I would never give up my
land based phone line (or cellular) and rely on Skype in the Caribbean.

That is true but at 2 cents/minute to the US vs. a minimum of $1 it is
always worth giving Skype the first try. :-)

I was referring to him having a landline telephone in the USA. There's no
reason to have one in the states any more. I've talked several
overconnected friends out of their "Landline Ripoff and Spammer
Connection" in the past year. Now connected to cable broadband, the don't
need landlines at all with cellular in their pockets. It wasn't about
Skype in Belize. DirecWay stinks, even in the USA. How
awful...overloaded.

There's a very good reason to have a land line here in the USofA:
reliability.

I gave up my land line a year and a half ago and went with Vonage over
my cable internet connection. Vonage is ok, but my cable internet
connection is very flakey. This week it is embarrassing me. Cable
internet is dropping out for a minute, two, several, 15 minutes at a
time. One of my lines is a fax line and I'm in the midst of business
dealings with faxes coming and going. People are having to resend at
least half of the time. And when the connection is down they get a
recording that my phone is not in service. Now I could set that fax line
to fwd to voicemail when the connection is lost, but that doesn't get me
the faxes I need. I could use an internet fax service, but then I still
need to get out on the net and get the fax. Telling people to resend,
and again, or to wait 15 minutes and try again, really sux.

I had landline in this area - a major suburb or a major city - for 20
years and do not recall a single day I did not have TelCo service. I had
DSL on that landline for 6 years and recall only 2 or 3 days when it
went down, and then for short times. Now I loathe "the telephone
company" but they were _there_. But my local cable tv & internet
service... don't make me laugh. (Especially this week when I look like
the dummy in the tv commercial that tried to save money on shipping
instead of using FedEx.) I've already called to set up a new landline
account.
