Did you code echomail into the skype videostream like the hidden
messages in pictures, or, did you write down the echomail messages
letter by letter so we have to write them down, while watching your stream? ;-)
Honesly, I prefer the 'old' style, getting echomail via binkd/pots an
old style arced pakets. :-)

He mentioned to use XMPP as a transport layer, not Skype...
XMPP can send files. Or you could even think about sending them as uuencoded messages. I you like you could even use end to endAhm... I didn't get this. ;-)
encryption using OTR or OMEMO XEPs.
Anyway, it doesn't make sence, to use high level tcp protocols. Currently our binkp is quite safe. Otherwise, binkp is a point to point connection.Honesly, I prefer the 'old' style, getting echomail viaMe too! I think this would only be a proof-of-concept. It would get interesting if you drive this concept even further and use multi-user-chat/group-chat functionality in XMPP to distribute

echomail packets. But then again you could replace echomail at all by using group-chats as echoareas. But wait! You can already do this
using NNTP and newsgroups. So, in fact you gain very little by using
XMPP. Maybe one of the small things you would gain would be Presence status of all connected nodes.
So, yeah, it would have some charme to have this as aWell, you've got to look at differnt things.
proof-of-concept, but that's all I think... and I don't think that
it's worth the effort given the current size of Fidonet. We have other things to care about...

Or, if this is not possible for you, just copy the pakets from your outbound onto a sd-card, and send the card via snailmail or pigeon.
;-)
Why not? Usually our local postal delivery services (dhl) is quite fast. Otherwise, some other postal delivery services aren't fast. Sometimes I think, they ride a pigeon around the world, to deliver a letter. ;-)Or, if this is not possible for you, just copy the pakets fromand wait more then a week to get it delivered from the postmann ? :)
