Yes they can. Who in this list is seriously doing VOIP? It sucks. In a few years it will work, but for now leave it in the beta testers hands.
I understand Cisco uses VOIP to route calls overseas for 24x7 support. Cisco only uses USA call centers during the day in the US. Overnight calls are sent to Australia amongst other places.
Cisco really looks like they are clued in on VoIP, I noticed Cisco is now pushing to deliver powered Ethernet ports so you can plug Ethernet based Cisco telephones into their Ethernet switches and they will require no external power whatsoever. If there is a VoIP revolution, Cisco is in place to reap the rewards for having the products people need to execute the revolution. I see corporations with just one network, and it's going to be based on Ethernet, providing switched voice, data and video all over IP. Corporations all over are asking for this kind of stuff. I imagine 3Com is under pressure to keep up with Cisco, which has quite a few VoIP solutions built into their routers and switches. 3Com just doesn't have the resources Cisco has amassed over the past few years. -Ron GLISnet, Inc. +1 810/939.9885 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
