BCM 50 and Skype - wildcard question

There are the obvious ways such as buying a skype adapter like the Dlink DPH-50U. This will create an analog dialtone that can be placed into a system trunk port. This allows you to make and receive Skype calls.
There is also a Sip Trunk option in the BCM that requires a Keycode to enable. Once enabled a provider like 's voip Trunking service for $30 per month will work. and there are some free providers like freeworld dialup
The last time I checked neither Vonage nor Packet 8 offer direct sip peering.

Good news as I expected the answer to be a flat "No".
Two further questions:
Presumably then there is an access code or feature key to access that trunk when you want to make a Skype call, or would all calls default to Skype?
How easy is this to set up? Our Vendor is also our local telephone service provider and they are not going to be too keen, or in fact may well flatly refuse to setup this arrangement.
Thanks for all your help.

Just plug it into a trunk port and assign it to pool and an Access code to dial it.
ie: put the line in Pool B and make 8 the access code.
Why change the engine if all you need is to change the spark plugs.
