Hi,
the old skype client for linux wasn't 100% accessible, but enough to be 
functionnal (i.e: you have to use tab and shift+tab to check if the 
person you are chatting with sent a message). Other than that it was 
fine, but now it's pretty much in decline, and replaced with a new 
client still in alpha that will probably never be accessible (it uses 
chromium to display the web.skype.com website, but it's a bar version of 
chromium without any possibility of using chromevox). Alternatively you 
can install the real chromium and add chromevox to it (on archlinux we 
have a package for this in repository, but I don't know about other 
distros), and access the web.skype.com website from there. That would be 
the only way, with a few issue since it's a beta.
- You can't call windows machine running skype as of yet (it will 
complain your contact has a too old version of skype, even if it's not 
the case)
- Video calls aren't available as of yet, I think
