Folks, I was hoping to get some feedback from everyone on the whole concept of setting up a softphone for remote workers (especially those on laptops).
The issues that concern me include: 1. What softphone client? -- simple to install -- easy to use -- easy to support 1a. IAX or SIP? -- SIP seems to create all kinds of pain with NAT and firewalls -- IAX works well, but are there any good clents 2. QoS - How do you convince your laptop to prioritize VoIP over evertying - How do you handle the fact that the network you are on probably doesn't care 3. Sound quality - Most PC audio gear is not tuned for voice. - Good quality headsets are expensive. - Are any cheap ones good? Anyhow, if we could get a lot of everyone's experience on this stuff, I for one would be very grateful.
