Solutions for Small Business VoIP?

MajorBlunder asks: "I'm part of the IT department of a small but prospering software company. We have recently filled the capacity of the POTS PBX phone system we currently have installed. We are currently looking into switching over to a VoIP phone system. We have a sizable IT staff in proportion to the rest of the company, so we'd like to be able to maintain the hardware/software in house as much as possible. I wanted to ask the Slashdot readership what experiences they have had with switching over to from POTS to VoIP. Any recomendations for full end to end solutions would be appreciated, and recomendations of things to avoid would be great."

Re:We use the Cisco IP Phones & Service.. by EmbeddedJanitor · 2005-11-29 16:01 · Score: 0, Flamebait

Today I spoke with a guy using Cisco over a WAN. Very crap. Call got cut up by his email client sniffing the pop server etc. Been like this for months and there seems no cure.

Cisco might be fine in a single building with nice fat wire all around.
