I have two questions about Skype that I haven't been able to find answers for.... maybe I'm missing something....

1. Is it at all possible for someone to call my computer (on Skype) from their regular phone?

2. Is there a way to enter users that don't have Skype so that I can use Skype as a chat program to eliminate MSN Messenger.... For example, on MSN you can enter a person with a Yahoo! e-mail address so you can chat with them...


Thanks!
