None of them interconnected though, they sounded like crap. Then came companies like Vocaltec who used h.323 and it got somewhat better.

The SIP revolution really changed all this and now we have free phone services that can sound as good on the PC and terminate to PSTN. The key is if the company invests in a managed network or not.

Free is only so good. Pay means they have to live up to their promise.
