I thought I had all the details figured out until my potential customer mentioned that he would like to use the WAN to carry voice. You know the reason - it is supposed to save money. Anyway, I am told I must use routers with appropriate interfaces to mix voice with IP. This blows the cost-effectiveness of my whole plan because it forces me to run a FreeBSD box for Firewall etc, AND a router. A bit redundant to say the least. So: is there anyone with any bright ideas for me whereby I can put voice over IP, but still use FreeBSD for routing, and avoid buying those horribly expensive router-based alternatives?
