To be honest, I'm at the stage where I'm not sure what the questions
we need to ask should be!

For one thing, just hearing that real people in the real world are
using these things.  "Gut" reaction opinions would be interesting too.
 And perhaps a "neutral" resource to help compare the various claims
all the salesmen are making.

BTW, we're looking for a solution for 30-50 users, in a new building
(so no issues with legacy anything to worry about (a new network will
be installed too)).  One "fixed" location, and 8-12 remote users.  So
far we've seen systems from Cisco, Avaya, Altigen, and Shoretel, along
with a couple of remote-hosted services (ATS, Covad, and ATX, as I
recall).
