RE: IP Intercom - Maybe



Hi Neil

Skype is peer to peer once the call is setup but it does need an internet
connection as the initial connection is via the Skype servers as that is
where your status is broadcast to all those on your contacts list.

I did find this when doing a search on intranet voip. May be of interest?
