[cisco-voip] Cisco Unified PhoneProxy+7970 vs. 871 route+7970 r vs. Cisco VPN Client+IP Communicator

[Michael Thompson]

This has been a topic for multiple threads.  the big advantage of the
871 is that you can do bandwidth management between you and the
internet connection.  the advantage is that if you have kids using the
internet as you're on the phone, you can control the peer to peer
trafffic and queue / shape for peak work application performance.  It
will also allow you to make sure that non-priority apps (outlook, SAP,
FTP, etc) don't overtake your bandwidth.

my 2 cents, but I'm very partial to the 871 for this solution.
