I've tried PSWG (latest version 3), enough to suggest that everyone
should stay away from that app. Not stable.
I'm using SIP-to-Skype/Skype-To-SIP software gateway called Uplink
(found in Wiki): http://nch.com.au/skypetosip/ - which is free and
working great so far. Downsides are:
- you need to have a Windows PC, and you cannot have more than one call
on this PC
- no support for DTMF (Asterisk does not recognize digits you press no
matter what)
Skype-SIP latency is somewhat bearable.

At least two such Skype gatewats already have been written. I have
tried PSWG but not been happy with the results. The principle works by
decoding the Skype call using a Skype client (requires Windows PC with
Skype logged in) and using some faux audio drivers in the host system
to pass the audio streams Asterisk (or any registrar/proxy) via SIP.
There's a lot of latency implicit in this process. That adds delay to
the call. For me it was not a good solution. Others may have fared better.
