We have three offices set up in Oregon and North Carolina. These are one man home offices for a small consulting firm. We have been successfully using VOIP for 5+ years. One office is RR Commercial, one is RR Residential, and the third is DSL. We have had a number of different solutions over the years. Point to Point SIP, Asterisk with server at one location, and remote SIP clients registering to that Asterisk Server, Asterisk - Asterisk server communications. In addition we all have VOIP - PSTN gateways (Vonage, FWD, etc). There are VPN's point to point using dedicated VPN Gateways between the offices. I would have to say that the overall quality of VOIP internally (office to office over VPN) has been of a better quality then the VOIP-PSTN (Vonage, etc). That is our experience with a set of small (one man) offices.
