Some early voice-over-internet work was done more than 20 years ago, and it was deemed "not ready for prime time" mostly because of lack of "guarantee of service/quality" (i.e. variable latency, and occasional dropout). The underlying technology has not changed (that) much (if at all?). TCP/IP was defined in RFCs when? 20 or 30 years ago? Some refinements, granted. >Sooner or later, one of us will get around to implementing it.... That would be interesting. In general, viz. computers, I believe in the "*nix credo" which goes something like "many ways to skin a cat". Choose your favorite, or the one that best fits the situation.
