You're preaching to the converted. My parents Mandrake box got routed  
through Skype last year, because they didn't upgrade Skype to a newer  
version.

 From the emails in this thread we know he needs it for work, so he  
hasn't really got a choice. There's no other client to the Skype  
network. Maybe there's a way to lockin Skype in systrace. On openSUSE  
I locked Skype in with AppArmor for my parents. If you need to talk  
to people on Skype you don't really have a choice.
