My company is evaluating video conferencing solutions, and I have been a big fan of skype at home. My question is : can skype do a direct connection over the LAN, instead of connecting to the other party by traversing our external net links? I've dug around some and cannot find a way to set this up. Obviously our LAN is much speedier at 1Gbps than my outbound links at T-1 speed.

Thanks in advance!
