[Asterisk-Users] Cisco to Cisco - poor quality

[Todd Taylor]

Greetings...things got way better for us when we:

0. Opted for voip gateways
1. Eliminated all hubs for switches
2. Eliminated all viruses (I hate PCs)
3. Recabled and seperated our voice from our data network

Three months later we just can't be happier!
