You could try zfone, which aims to be a secure voip application.  It it
still in beta though, but is done by Phillip Zimmerman who gave us pgp.
The only snag is that the other end of the call must have it too, but
then the same holds true for Skype.  As yet zfone has no documented
security problems, but that could possibly be because it is new.
