I don't understand the question.
VoIP is handled at Layer 3
If you could tell me a little more about what your business needs are, I might be able to help

I'm currently working for a client that is rolling out VoIP using Cisco gear, phones, etc.

While VoIP saves money in the long run, it does require what can be a substantial up front cost.

My recommendation would be to hire a reputable consulting firm to look at your business needs & do an analysis for you. At least then you'd know for sure what kinds of costs you're looking at.

I can't solicit here, but if you'd send me an email, I may be able to help you.

I've had some experience with Multitech's VOIP stuff. It worked really well in our situation. Several bank branches that were connected via T1 and a few via DSL. The quality of the call was not bad at all.

They were a bit of a bear to get configured correctly. There were patches/firmware updates that needed to be applied and all the units had to be on the same revision or they didn't work. That was well over a year ago though so perhaps they've made it a little easier.

If I remember right, they were less expensive than Cisco's gear (not surprising).
