Hi Mike,
Pace brought a company a few years ago that did VoIP exchanges and thus
we used VoIP between sites. A few problems in the start, until they got
some QOS implemented - it's very noticable when you lose packet or they
arrive too late!

Hardware is descibed here:

Of course there is always the oppotunity to save cost on the hardware by
implementing with PC/Software gatekeeper and use desktops as the phone.

Gnomemeeting looks very nice, however it feck's up my laptop's sound
settings so I haven't proved it yet.
Simon.
