Although the problem really seems to have been on my side, I have some
data loss somewhere between my home router and the next hop which then
leads to static noise over ip instead of voice over ip.

Yes. The problem with skype is: It just works. No matter if your home
router has a firewall or does NAT or whatever. It works.

HP has a fun thing called virtual classroom (although I cannot remember
at the moment if they use VOIP in there). But that seems internal to
them.

Cheers,

Ralph
