That is a good point on canceling and I also have a skype account. I probably should implement canceling for Dialcentral. TOR's lack of it is mainly an artifact of how it interacts with the system (I don't have Hold support working right so TOR blocks calls rather than allowing you to switch)

Though one downside for Skype for me is DTMF doesn't seem to work which means I can't use the call screener but then the Skype voicemail picks it up and they refuse the disable voicemail on my account. My Linux client has voicemail disabled but its weird in terms of how this applies to Maemo 5 which doesn't have voicemail settings. I'm curious what you do for Skype...
