Found that my-self.... Its very new and not ideal given that IPv6
currently needs tunneling to get out your own building. But VoIP is
one of the main areas where IPv6 is a must for the future.

I've been looking at Asterisks for a while, and think it would solve
very nicely one of the main problems on my desk at the moment (this
new phone system we got thats don't work and does not do even some of
the features out 20 year old pots based system did)

The stumbling blocks I've got are,

1> The difficulty with even getting it configured for demonstration
that it could work, and find hardware for that demonstration.
2> The Office Firewall, and Internet Equipment. (Which I'll expand to
another thread I think, I need some advise on it)
3> Finding the time and getting people to believe that this really is
the best way forward.
