I'm fully aware of this and I'm neither a fan, advocate or a regular
user of Skype. On the other hand, behind NAT it's not running as a
supernode. No CPU or network anomalies noticed, at least in System Monitor.

SIP-based Wengo and Ekiga do work to some extent, but I haven't tried
them much on Ubuntu apart from creating/testing accounts for use with
Nokia N810 (Linux, apt pkg., BTW).
