I've been "playing" with video phones over the past month or 2.

You've got 3 choices: Bottom-end is Xlite, etc. soft-phones.

Desktop videophones - currently Grandtream GXV3000 and ATL4000's.

Top of the range Polycom video conferencing units.

Starting with the top-of the range ones - these "just work"
Don't even need an Asterisk box. Expensive though - I did one
help setup a pair of these, one in the UK, the other
west-coast US. Both with 42" plasma screens. Very nice,
worked very well. Very expensive.

Define expensive and what models?

The softphones are free, the Grandstreams are in the £150 range, the ATL400's a bit more - £225ish..

I don't recall the exact model of Polycoms, but the nearest in physical appearance I can find now is £2600. (VSX 6000) I've a funny feeling they paid over £3000 each for them when they were setup which was some 3 years ago.

I do recall the plasma screens being just as expensive at the time.
