The company I am working for is using Cisco IP phones. It is quite useful but it does not really pass the endurance test IMHO. Last Wednesday evening, we had a 3 hour conference about SAP using the CISCO IP phone and Microsoft Netmeeting. Microsoft Netmeeting worked through the 3 hours. The Cisco phone failed once here in Singapore (have to power cycle it). I am not so sure if the other side (Cleveland) is using CISCO or not but it also failed once. At home, I am always using international calling cards with the land phone. I think they are using partially IP based service. Never feel the need to use Skype or other PC based service.
