Generally from my experience the primary things that effect VoIP would be Packet loss, and Latency. There are tons of other things such as RF noise etc.. however those shouldnt* be an issue. Packet loss is going to be pretty obvious across the "wire" due to the way it is normally handled (fill in dropped packet with previous packets data). With that said depending on the wireless (signal strength / noise) there could be potential issues (packet loss, distortion, static, delay in sound), however if there are this can be easily mitigated by the use of the hard line. Just my 2 cents. - Tim On Wed, 2009-09-30 at 14:11 -0400, Paul W.
