AHHH! ok... yeah, you can do this but you will have to deal with the problem of 
the codecs that the telco's use for encoding the voice traffic over the 
network... i don't know their names of numbers... that's all confusing for the 
most part... i know that in some cases, it works and works well aside from the 
network protocol paradigm that allows for packets to travel via different 
paths... some have been successful with several of the available VoIP 
products... others have not... some can only get 9600 while others may see 
19200 or better... it really depends on the network, the codecs and QOS or 
similar that may be in play...

i think that's a separate thing, altogether... other than maybe restricting 
VoIP, it should not get in the way...
