We are on the 21st century! Many<br>
technological efforts that have been made through all this years have<br>
been directed to bring telephony to the IP world. </blockquote><div><br>While true, I also have read that unless major upgrades are done, P2P, YouTube, other streaming, and tons of other bandwidth intensive apps are going to bog down the net in many spots. Hopefully it is not one of your hops to your ITSP.<br>

and keeps playing a pretty nice role on the open source market we are<br>
in. VoIP will be as reliable and good quality as your network is.</blockquote><div><br>Your network, your ISPs, or your provider?

The<br>
savings of not having to make double phone/data cabling and the<br>
advantages of VoIP are now a standard worldwide, from carriers to small<br>
home PBXs.<br>

Analog lines are definitely legacy. The last time I put a T1 channel<br>
bank into use was more than two years ago, and never had to configure<br>
another one since then.<br>
