This points to SipToSis from http://www.mhspot.com/, which looks very
interesting. It appears to 'drive' a proper Skype desktop client from
a SIP interface - so your regular SIP phone (IT, desk phone, anything)
will connect to SipToSis using SIP, then that will relay to Skype.

I think you can do this without Asterisk, you just need to be running
the relay somewhere. I'm not sure what security is possible if you run
it somewhere publicly accessible - although some answers are at
http://www.mhspot.com/sts/siptosis_faq.html
