Hi All!

Is there any repo with skype for Fedora 9?

Skype is proprietary, so can't be in Fedora. Does it have to be skype?
There are other possibilities. Take a look at ekiga, for instance.

Does video work in ekiga? I haven't tried it in F9 but it's been broken
since about F7. At the time the developers confirmed the bug and they
figured it must be in alsa.

Here's a summary of IM options that I've tried:

1) gaim: speaks a hundred protocols, but no voice, no video, not even file
transfers.

Last time I looked, gaim (now called pidgin) does do file trsnfers, at
least with MSN (it's reaaaalllllyyyyy sssslllllooooowwwww but it works).
