Is the link for MSN for mac

I'm guessing its a Skype client your looking for and not an alternative VOIP program. In that case...

Chinese engineers have allegedly cracked Skype's Internet telephony protocol, according to a Thursday blog posting.

If the blog posting is correct, software developers who currently don't have access to Skype's protocol could develop and sell alternative Skype clients. This could prove problematic for eBay, which has kept the protocol private since acquiring Skype last year.

In a statement, a Skype representative acknowledged but dismissed the claim.

"We have no evidence to suggest that this is true," the representative said. "Even if it was possible to do this, the software code would lack the feature set and reliability of Skype, which is enjoyed by over 100 million users today. Moreover, no amount of reverse engineering would threaten Skype's cryptographic security or integrity."

I dont think Skype have released their protocol so there are no alternative Skype Clients. It appears to be a skype network problem.
