[plug] Skype

[Daniel Pearson (Flashware Solutions)]

Quoting "Bruce M. Axtens" <bruce.axtens at gmail.com>:

> My brother is running Skype (1.3.0.53 API) on Linux (Fedora Core 6) with a
> (firestarter 1.0.3) firewall. 
>  
> He's just asked me, "my firewall goes ballistic whenever I fire up skype,
> blocking the program from contacting hundreds of extra 'unknown' ports,
> why?"
>  

Just a thought, but maybe because of its P2P aspect?
