First install Skype on some box and save/print the Skype license you are forced to acknowledge to "make it work". Then have whoever instructed you read it and have them sign a document stating that they want you to install it in full knowledge of the license and that they take any legal responsibility that may arise from that. If you are working for a big enterprise, have the company lawyer read it. Short version of the last Skype license I read: "Skype owns your PC". I have been able to talk every single customer out of "make Skype work" by simply kindly asking them to read the license first and _really_ read and understand it.
Nice- wonder if there's a good Sarbaines Oxley blocking vector in there for those affected by it. Paul ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
