font-family:Arial'>I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences with
the Metreos SCCP-Proxy appliance that Cisco is in the process of / or has
acquired. We currently handle all of our remote Teleworkers via Cisco
871/877 routers and DMVPN. It looks as if this product will allow us to
continue forward with the same type of support for voice (internal calling, unified
messaging, etc.) without the need for the VPN piece. Additionally, I am presume
that we could also then provide QoS at a more finite level per call (at the
headend) since we are pulling all VoIP streams out of the giant IPSec
tunnel. Any input on real world functionality and price point would be appreciated.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
