in my experience with 2.5, it's just as asccessible with jaws, as the earlier 
versions, if not more, since 2.5 makes use of MSAA for there list views and 
sutch.
The scripts for skype which can be downloaded from 
http://chris.thetestpattern.com/jfwskype/jfw-skr275.zip
beta scripts, work great wiith 2.5. They just need to be compiled again, so 
after copy pasting hte files, just open them in script manager and alt f s.
I'm in a little bit of a hurry , but I hope this helps someone.
skype: serrebi2006 if you need help.
as a side note: skype 3.0 beta is a little bit of an accessible hurdle. THe 
main skype download is fine, but unless you are good with a little unaccessible 
progs, don't go looking for skype 3.x, as it doesn't work perfectly even with 
the scripts. THey changed the interface, added skining, etc etc, that's 
probably why skype support was dropped from jaws 8.0, honestly I'm surprised no 
one brought this up yet... It prob needed more work!
