None of this is necessary; Skype already supports restricting to calls to only coming from users on the buddy list. So, if your PBX is connecting to the Skype network as user 'A', and your remote users are 'B' and 'C', then *don't* setup SFA to allow calls from anyone, and don't set it up to automatically add users to the buddy list when they request it. Instead, manually add users B and C to A's buddy list (using a regular Skype client), and those are the only users that will be able to call A. -- Kevin P.
