SIP in higher education

[Jeremy George <>]

Hey Art,

  Right, the softphone is an option, and probably my choice, but it
doesn't seem to be high on folks wishlists.

  Wireless is nice thought, thanks.  Do you have thoughts/recommendations
for one that's easy to re-configure and actually works?  (This needs to
work outside the US but probably won't have constraints as hard as your
users.)

-  Jeremy
