Hi Guys, need some opinions on SoftPhone. Running an IP Office 406 with the 4.2 firmware.
I have a user that will be starting to work from home exclusively, and am toying with the idea of using SoftPhone instead of setting up a VPN device at the home location and using a hard device.
Personally, in the rare times that I've used SoftPhone, I've had nothing but trouble, but then again I don't think I've ever spent enough time setting it up properly to be a good judge.
What do you guys think? Should I not even bother with this idea and just setup a VPN tunnel? The fact that I wouldn't need to put any VPN hardware at the home office is part of the reason why I'm leaning in this direction.
