Steve, I want to end up with a system that will let me send and receive voice calls. I guess what I want to do depends on the best way to do that. Can I do more than 23 (decent sounding) voice calls on a data T-1 with someone else handling the final part of the call to the copper for me? If so than that is my likely final destination.
I have a channelized voice T-1 currently plugged into my meridian system, but I would like (if realistically possible) to do as much of this over IP as possible for maximum flexibility. Is that a pipe dream or just silly given the current state of technology? I am lucky enough to work for a company that is letting me take my time with this, test the various options and come up with the proper solution. I am assuming (I know: dumb to assume) at this point that VoIP over a T-1 to a provider that can then route it to hard phones for me would be the way to go. Similarly, I would point my 800 number to a DiD hosted by a VoIP provider that would then route the call back to me. If that is an incorrect assumption, please let me know.
