[geeks] IP telephony

[Andrew Weiss]

I haven't really been interested, nor have I been following this field for
a while, since I have always had the gut feeling that when this gets good
enough the phone companies will kill it, and currently it isn't good
enough... (am I mistaken?)... Case in point, I have the marketing head
asking me about IP telephony for his house.  He does have cable modem
services, and is looking for a standalone type of device.  Is there a
really good vendor for this market and an existing product I can
recommend?  Most IP telephony I'm familiar with requires a large equipment
outlay, and is suitable for large providers.  (I'm also only vaguely
familiar with said equipment)
