[TriLUG] Site to Site VPN over the net? Good enough for VoIP?

[Jim Ray]

the system our company sells is the same one our company uses:
http://www.neuse.net/phone

it goes up to 32 extensions, 16 VoIP trunks and 16 POTS lines.

the real question is control of latency over the internet.  on a local 
level, you can use p and q tagging; however, you can not guarantee 
latency over the internet.  the only test you have is to try it.  it 
does not matter whether you use DSL, T1, cable modem.  all that matters 
is that the route have low latency.

on a practical note, my tired old ears use VoIP just fine.  sometimes, 
it is like a cell phone and has a little blip.  most of the time, it is 
fine.

hth,
