what equipment I would need to buy?
Thanks, J

As
Skype gets more popular with tourists and locals the CARICOM telecom
committees are going to start scurrying around trying to figure a way
to tax it.


I think they have two hard-to-resolve problems......

1 - Skype is in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, one of those little places
on earth the rich store their money in exchange for Luxembourg keeping its
mouth shut. I doubt the long arm of any bureaucrat would get much
information on who you call, much less who you paid and how much.

2 - Skype uses ANY old port it wants, not Port 12345. I don't even think
the NSA's mainframes are large enough to find every port Skype uses on
every American's computer across the country. Besides, did we mention
it's
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.
