   Yes!  This is exactly my experience with it working for a telephony
service provider that provides wholesale VoIP platform and CPE for
customers and works primarily over the Internet at large, rather than
dedicated links.  It kind of works, except when it doesn't.

   But on a LAN environment, in general I think it is quite usable for 
analog call transport as long as the core is gigabit and there's some 
rudimentary QoS.
