Does anyone here have any thoughts, experiences, etc. about the use of IP telephony in corporate environments?

IP telephony works alright if you take the neccessary precautions for performance management, monitoring, rate-limiting unwanted traffic, etc. which you should do anyway. Most organisations have gotten along and are acting in reactive mode whenever new "threats" are "discovered". Most problems with IP telephony come from the "router people" not talking to the "firewall people" and both of them not talking to the "telephone people". If you can get those lines working, you´ll likely to succeed. If you don´t, go with the traditional way, because then you don´t have to make the people communicate. Pete
