In order to use Skype with K12LTSP you would have to get the microphone input 
working. Getting sound (output) to work over ESD is fairly straightforward, 
but I for one don't know how you would get sound (input) working between 
terminal and server. Running local applications on the terminal could provide 
two-way sound, but that has it's own complications. If anyone knows how to 
get two-way sound without local applications on the terminal, I would be 
overjoyed to hear how it is done.
