Can you get Cisco SoftPhone software and run it from your PC? That option works pretty well. In fact, our Cisco account manager called me from home yesterday from her softphone over a pretty crazy connection. Her PC with the VPN software connects via wireless to a wireless hub and then to a cable modem. She was connecting from Denver all the way to San Jose to their concentrator, and then hopped onto another high-speed connection back to Cisco's offices in Denver to hop onto the PSTN. I was pretty impressed with the sound quality considering that network path!
