Hey Stu, In simple terms, yes you are correct. However, as I'm sure you know, you need to take this type of setup with a grain of salt. If you have a decent bandwidth, low latency, consistent connection between the phone and CM, it works fine. There's absolutely no guarantees for QoS on the Internet. Now, FWIW, I use softphone on my laptop when I travel and I've gotten satisfactory results (IMO) better than 75% of the time.
I always pitch this as being a *kewl* feature, but never as a selling point. I'm very, very cautious with customers over this. As long as the user using it is understanding and realizes there will be times when it doesn't work or the quality is really crappy, then typically they stay happy. Not something I'd give to Internet/computer/technology illiterate executive. I love it, by the way.
