>>>"nobody wants to sacrifice commodity pricing and high-speed access for a slow, proprietary tangle of wire and glass." The product is available at essentially the identical price per port as a data-only system - in effect you're getting all the extra functionality for free. Sacrifice high-speed access? Who has high-speed access? It's hard to find and expensive if you can get it at all, then if you can get it you're stuck with only being able to use it from the location you got lucky to get it installed at. Slow? You keep posting internet solutions - how are these people going to connect? My guess is virtually all of them would be using the same modem speeds that BT offers. On top of that none of the internet-based solutions can offer anywhere near the functionality of a truly "virtual desk" - they're all little more than a fancy answering machine. One of these days when the price activity causes you to cover your shorts I hope curiosity gets the best of you causing you to investigate matters a little further.
