VOIP for SOHO

Archived from groups: comp.dcom.voice-over-ip (More info?)

Hi all,
I have been lurking for a while and I wanted to pose this question.
I'm looking to setup a VOIP solution for a small office (10-user) as
well as support up to 10 more people at home offices.

I have been looking at a number of products and I'm wondering if
someone can point me in the right direction for resources or product
comparisons.

Personally, I support a ~300 user Call Manager installation by day and
I figure that this type of enterprise solution (even using the express
products) is far too expensive.

I was looking at something like the 3Com VOIP solution or purchasing
one of these VOIP/NAT Firewall boxes - but there are so many vendors
and none of which I have heard of before.

Does anyone have any "Love/Hate" stories of products for this size
small office? Presume the needs are similar to a small legal office, 3
or 4 incoming lines? and voicemail.

Thanks,
Paul

Perhaps it will be suitable for you? http://www.pbxpress.com/ It is a
small PBX box (running on the PC cube).
- Configurable from the web interface
- Supports different types of SIP phones, NAT traversal, auto-detection on
the new SIP phones on the local network
- Can send outgoing calls to VoIP
- Or can use existing PSTN lines for local calls or as a backup in case if
VoIP fails
- Can record the voice conversations and back them up on the CD/DVD disk

WBR, Andrew
