thanks for the reply. Our issues with the phone system and the internet are seprate. Our phone system does have a circuit issue, we have been going back and forth with Bell and our carrier about it for a while. We have a fractional T1, that goes into a box that we didn't buy from Bell, so they won't service it and our carrier (a local company) doesn't seem to want to service it either. We will probably have to get a whole new T1 router, but the phone system isn't my biggest concern right now.

Our internet connection is a 802.11 wireless connection to our local ISP. (Line of sight, boosted 802.11, tower to tower) It was a good deal, but since then the ISP has been bought out and speeds have really gone into the toilet. We considered going to a dedicated T1 for data, but it is going to be more than triple what we are paying now.

That's when I thought about VoIP. Kill two birds with one stone. Data and phone service over one line. Is this a good idea?
