I understand. I think that our setup seems much simpler than what you
and Andrew are talking about -- we have no SIP phones, and are just
using the VoIP lines as trunks into our KSU. I am hoping that this
means we will avoid a lot of pain (bandwidth permitting) but who
knows?

Neither are we. Given that we are using DSL this is a pretty easy
choice.
