I ended up installing the older version of skype (1.3.0.53). As far as usefulness goes, you may want to look at alternatives such as Ekiga, which are free, cross platform and use open standards. It's far less useful when it has had the video guts ripped out of it (which the GNU/Linux client does not support video). Ekiga is in CentOS 5 base. -- James A.
