Skype

Hi,
No, I'm not asking for Skype on the Oric
I'm wondering if it would not be possible to link Orics' tape plug to PCs soundcards (well, this is possible of course ), and transfer datas between the 2 Orics by CLOADING on one side, and CSAVING on the other, thru Skype.
Using PCs and Skype this way could be a funny way of networking Orics over the world, for chess game for instance. One could even network 3, 4 Orics as Skype allows conferences (of course with a basic token-ring like protocol to know which Oric has now to "speak").
The first step would be trying to transfer a program thru Skype... Any volunteer ?
