Another satisfied Siemens-Rolm customer...?

I played Igor[1] for a VOIP rollout  last year, using Cisco handsets,
hooked up to a commercial provider (Covad); sound quality was
acceptable. I've played with TrixBox [2] and with FreeSwitch [3], but
haven't used either in production.

1. as in "Igor fetch me a crossover cable","Igor configure these
handsets for this netblock"

2. http://www.trixbox.org/ Easy install ( was Asterisk at home )

3. http://www.freeswitch.org/ full on softswitch, complex but very flexible
