Although skype is funny, see online status and have a chat, it's not a real phone-solution. Someone ever did transcontinental calls? 400ms+ rta?
The good old ISDN is much better :)
And if you dont like fiddeling around with ISDN and swisscom and so on, get yourself a good internet connection (0% packetloss :)) and try one of the SIP providers near you (like http://e-fon.ch). Some of them having quite interesting prices, and if needed, extra-features (like web-based pbx-config, iax trunks, etc).
Cheers josh

Sorry Yann, It isn't only the difference between Skype and Telco. Whe have had internal an old TVA (mechanic). Since 1 Year we have a Siemens Hicom system. The old is now running by my brother. and it is working fine. (since 10 years now) The Hicom, has everytimes problemes. Sometime the Phones doesn't ring etc.
We moved to an Aastra box just before Christmas last year. Not a big one, 10-12 extensions. Before then end of January I had shifted everything to a box running Asterisk. Far more flexible.
