as someone else (tanner?) pointed out, featuretel does a great job of providing 
hosted voip solutions.  you just need a internet connection and some phone 
money, they handle the rest.  the only catch is that you must have a good 
internet pipe, preferably with qos on the router/firewall.  we frequently work 
with featuretel customers to set that kind of thing up on the client end if they 
don't have it already.

or if you want an in-house solution we can set you up with an asterisk-based 
phone system that runs internally.  there are pros and cons with either setup, 
the ideal solution depends on your specific needs and expectations.  we're been 
running our own asterisk system for a couple of years and absolutely love it.
