Skype was done by then. Before it went corporate when Microsoft bought
them, it used a peer-to-peer design similar to Kazaa (the founders of
Kazaa started Skype) and there was nothing like it back then.

I worked for eBay at the time, and we bought a minority stake in Skype.
We supported a development office of theirs and rolled out Skype gear to
the company.
