[TriLUG] [OT] Recommendations for hosted VoIP

[Jim Ray]

We carry the product line to own your own hosted VoIP if you are
interested in running your own server:

http://www.3cx.com

Just don't tell anyone it runs on Windows...

It is one of the reasons we folded the Triangle Open Source Lab.

Hi List,

Our small company is evaluating options for moving from POTS to a hosted
VoIP solution.

I recall some time ago there was a fairly active TriLUG list member who
worked for FeatureTel.  That led me to consider popping the question
here,
and looking for some folks to offer suggestions.

I'd be very appreciative of any input, preferably off-list, from both
vendors and consumers of hosted VoIP solutions in the Triangle area.
I'm
looking for pros and cons, so that I can make some sort of rational
choice.

Here's some more about our company:

+ We are located off Triangle Drive (across US-70 from The Original
Mattress
Factory).
+ We have four full-time in-office employees, and two part-time
mostly-from-home employees.
+ We currently have BellSouth DSL which, according to a dslreports.com
speed
test I just ran, gives us about 6Mbps down and 384 kbps up.
+ We make relatively routine use of Skype's voice and video features to
talk
to folks in our parent company office in Grove City, PA.
+ We also have a VPN setup to Grove City using SonicWall hardware
endpoints.
The VPN sees medium-to-low traffic.

We are interested in evaluating solutions that either use our existing
ISP
or involve other public and/or private WAN technologies such as T1s,
etc.
(e.g. FeatureTel's FUSION service).

I'll probably cross-post most of this to triangle internetworkers, so
apologies to those who are on both lists and see this message twice. :-)

Cheers!
~Brian
