It's an alphabet soup, here's the three you mentioned:
SIP - Simple Interchange Protocol, the most commonly used VoIP protocol.
IAX - Inter-Asterisk Exchange, Asterisk specific VoIP protocol.
ZAP - Zaptel communications, another name for landline.

As for Skype you cannot use them - if you wanted a free connection you
could go with Free World Dialup.

I've been working with Asterisk for a while now, it's a working platform.
