[cisco-voip] Re: [Voiss-users] VoIP qualification and monitoring

[Jon Carnes]

We've designed a little linux box using a WRTG form-factor that goes on a
clients network and does QoS/VoIP qualification and monitoring. The devices
cost $150 each and so far do an outstanding job.

They not only alert us to problems, but they also pin-point the location and
nature of the problem.  We are still developing the boxes, but so far we
really like them, and they have to potential to do a lot more.
