Personally, I would recommend that you stay away from any software based 
phone.  It is my experience that whenever a computer gets under any kind 
of load, it tends to degrade the voice quality significantly.  If your 
users are not going to be using their computers while they are on the 
phone, then that would work just fine.  If they do need to use their 
computers while on the phone, you will run the risk of seriously 
degrading the voice quality.
