Val knows about IP telephone gateways -- a sister company of ours was involved in that field. I read a few of Val's old posts on the subject, out of curiousity. I would make two points:

(1) This is a very competive industry. When I was at the Internet World trade show in LA in March, there were scores of companies trying to push IP telephony. Your buddies at DGIV didn't even bother to have a booth there. (See events.internet.com

(2) The big challenge is going to be connecting IP telephony systems to the PSTN (public switched telephone network). There are a number of products that allow you to talk over the Internet -- a friend of mine talks to his relatives in Pakistan that way. The real trick is going to be being able to call from a PC to a regular phone. I think this was pointed out in the Red Herring article that DGIV mentions on their Web site, redherring.com .

Interestingly, the article takes a rather dim view of IP telephony at present. So, tell us which ITU-T telephony standards DGIV is compliant with, so that they can connect to the PSTN?
