You told your employer that you, as someone with tons of access to their system, was leaving and you wonder why you got locked out and then go crying abhout it in your blog and on/., who is being unprofessional here?
Yeah its great that more and more companies are coming out with Softphones that use SIP to talk to THEIR networks. Then why can't anybody make a damned good softphone that will talk to ANY SIP or IAX network? The biggest problem for mobile users who are using softphones to talk through a remote VOIP PBX is that it only works on about 60% of the networks. If someone would code a GOOD softphone for SIP and/or IAX, so our softphones worked on 90%+ networks, it would be worth paying for.
Several of the big guns in online backup have reseller programs (I know, I am a reseller of said service) which allows anyone to sign up and start selling online backups using their templates. So it is not surprising. When talking to anyone regarding this service, ask who their provider is, are they a reseller, is it their own hardward, then double check it for yourself, get references if possible.
The "ideal" setup IMHO is a VOIP dialtone provider and a VOIP PBX system. Using Vonage, BroadVoice, etc can be cheaper than analog lines and an Asterisk system is BY FAR cheaper than an analog PBX.

You can use any of the following:
Regular phone lines (multiple modems or multi-line modems)
ISDN Trunk lines
T1 Trunk lines
Internet-based carriers
If you have 2 regular phone lines, you can handle 2 concurrent calls, a T1 can handle up to 23. It is a very effective cost point considering the alternative standard PBX costs.

In a PURE VOIP scenerio, you could get PSTN/POTS termination from a company like Vonage, Broadvoice, VoicePulse, or a number or other companies. This basically gives you Dialtone-over-internet. What you need on your side is either a single softphone, ATA adapter, or something like an Asterisk box communicate with the provider. VOIP is suitable for everything from 1 user to any number of business class users.
If you don't know what a PBX is, then this probably isn't of interest to you in the first place. I have no idea what "Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) and Elliptic Curve Menezes-Qu-Vanstone (ECMQV) for key agreement, and Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) for signature generation/verification" means, but that didnt stop me from reading about it.

While I ddid focus on using softphones, you can use either SIP phones or normal phones using an ATA adapter. SIP phones range in price from $69 - $500.

The issue this was in came out weeks ago. Good thing internet news is giving way to print media.

The base information on voip-info as well as BroadVoice's own website do not work anymore. There are a few tweaks to make it work properly now.
