RE: VoIP on iSeries

Would one really be dumping their phones?  We have Cisco 
telephony.  My lan cable goes from my wall into my Cisco 
79xx phone.  From there it goes into the back of my 
desktop PC.  I assume the phone  is some sort of DHCP client 
that works like a regular phone. 

IFAIK, all 79xx phones are IP phones already, I know the 7960G on my
desk is. So you've already "dumped" your phones and moved to an IP
phone. The reference wasn't to getting rid of a physical handset, but
rather that you'd need IP-capable handsets.

I don't have Vonage, but from what....

I may not be a fan of IP on i5, but I would point out that this is NOT
VONAGE. We're talking a totally different beast. Sure, they're both
VoIP, the IBM solution is about hosting an VoIP infrastructure, not
hooking into one. That is, it would be Vonage themselves that would want
to run the i5 VoIP solution, not their customers.
