Given time, it will prevail and will be the future of how we communicate and the costs associated with it. Like I said, I am likely one of the biggest advocates for IP Telephony that you will run across. I have an IP telephone on my desk that I actually use. But I also understand very well what the limitations are to putting voice on a network where you don't have control of the QoS. Some keywords for you on the internet today: Bottlenecks, Congestion, Bursty Data. Again, the issue is not IP telephony, it is reliable Internet telephony. And there is a big difference, not just semantics. Additionally, the response that you received from Nokia specifically says that it works as long as it is not a dial-up connection. CYSS's website, specifically states that it would be used on the dial-up connection. There are threads on SI that are dedicated to IP telephony. I would encourage you to look them up and ask an unbiased person on one of those threads about the reality the quality and reliability Internet voice communication. Again, I am not saying that you can't transmit voice over the internet, you can. I am saying that it does not provide the reliability and quality that would be required for communication that isn't annoying. JXM
