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

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.

My favourite solution still would be more users using asterisk DUNDI peer to peer number lookup. I once had 100Fr./Month free Swisscom calls. So I started announcing the whole Swiss FixNet ranges. This did work pretty well, many other Asterisk users made good use of my ISDN lines :-)
If more users with phone flatrates would share their lines via DUNDI, Phone would become nearly free.

To my knowledge DUNDI is just meant for usage with your own numbers.
Nope, as I understand you can announce any number reachable via your system. You just have to set the corresponding lower priority if it's not a number under your control.
