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

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.
