BT works. We only tried Skype locally (in-house), so no comment on that.
During the install I needed to run an ActiveX control to set things up, but
since I had an XP laptop, I didn't look for a workaround. Had I not had
that, I would've used IE-in-XP-in-VMware. Webservers work if you can change
to port 81 or have the router do it for you (with appropriate modifications
to your URL). Back when I was with RR, I set up something on RR's official
webserver where it would redirect the user automatically to my address.
Port 22 works, but I don't use that anymore (too many hack attempts).
