Last month I wrote about my strong disagreements with a guest blog post on Skype Journal that was titled "A SIP/Skype Gateway Is NOT In The Forecast". I disagreed with the premise that a SIP/Skype gateway isn't in the forecast. Well, Skype Inc. may not care about offering a SIP-to-Skype gateway, but that doesn't mean VoIP enthusiasts are going to sit around and not build their own SIP-to-Skype gateways! I've blogged on a few occasions where I discussed the desire for Skype users to have SIP connectivity and various home-brewed solutions.
Well, we can add another SIP-to-Skype gateway solution to the mix. I just discovered SippySkype today, which is an open source & free SIP-to-Skype gateway.
Check out the features:

Check out the features:
- SippySkype is Java software that allows you to make and receive Skype calls from your SIP/VoIP adapter. Basically a Skype/SIP Bridge/Gateway/Proxy
- Call Skype Users using speed dial or use Skype out.
- SIP to Skype authentication/denial mappings via SIP caller ID and IP blocks - 1.1 or higher
- Skype to SIP authentication/denial mappings via incoming Skype User ID - 1.1 or higher
- Support RFC2833 touchtone decoding (DTMF) - 2.0beta or higher
- Could be used as an endpoint with Asterisk
- Auto play pre-recorded file(s) to SIP callers - 2.0beta or higher
- Incoming SIP Pin number authentication and dialing - 2.0beta or higher
- Open Source - You can modify/fix it if you like.
- It's free
- Skype Client
- Working Java 1.6.0 or better runtime
- mjsip/mjua 1.6 http://www.mjsip.org/ - Use those included with SippySkype as some bugs have been fixed.
- Skype4Java 1.0 https://developer.skype.com/wiki/Java_API - Unmodified
- SIP/VOIP adapter such as a spa-3102 to make and receive Skype calls or register with a provider or Asterisk.
- Should work where Skype4Java works (windows/linux/osx). (I'm using it on Windows XP)

Interesting post! I've read and heard about SippySkype. It seems cool - I have had the time try it yet. It is in my list of things to do... Btw, the Tag Cloud on the top looks pretty ugly. Especially the tag 'voip' pretty oversized because it is popular here I guess. Tag clouds on the side seem better.
I have just tried SippySkype this morning and is working, i just have a small issue of jitter, its hard to hear the caller, but they can hear me perfectly. im looking forward to this jitter being resolved.
