Hi Tony,

Coming late to this party, but here's my two cents.

Don't depend on the VoIP. The Internet ebbs and flows. Get a line card 
and use it with Asterisk.

Save the VoIP part for your LAN. SIP phones are awesome. But you do have 
to configure Asterisk to register them. It's not too hard.

Cheers,
Mark

P.S. I have some extra IP phones if you're interested. Contact me offlist.
