The skype port at: https://github.com/vassilisl/freebsd-ports/tree/master/n= et-im/skype4 will connect (if you use the f20 ports https://github.com/vassilisl/freebsd= -linux_base-f20 ;) ) but it doesn't have sound working. Both xmj and I are working on getting that version of Skype on c6 and f20 linux emulation bases respectivelly, which basically means get it to talk to pulseaudio. If anyone has experience with that, please shout! :) Regards, Vassilis > --=20 > DISCLAIMER: >=20 > No electrons were maimed while sending this message.
