Does anybody out there know of any voice/phone packages that run over ethernet (and/or TCP/IP). I am interested in being able to plug in a microphone or telephone into my Sun Sparc station, and be able to phone other people on the net. Please *e-mail* replies of products, suppliers, etc and I will compile and post the results.
