Just a quick opinion poll for those of you who have implemented VoIP. 
Given a medium-sized partially-meshed network, would you prefer to use
ATM or Frame Relay for your transport?  Assume that most locations would
have DS1 speeds only.

I ask this because I've been hearing a mixture of opinions.  It seems
to me that ATM would allow us to utilize its CoS.  With FR you don't
have much control over your traffic beyond FRTS and LLQ.  Once it hits
the cloud you're at its mercy.

However, I haven't heard any details yet but apparently someone at
Cisco thinks that ATM has some scalability problems that FR doesn't
have.  I can't imagine what that would be so it will be interesting to
hear what he has to say.  I'd be surprised if he suggests FR instead of
ATM.

Right now, we have a large frame relay network but I'm seriously
considering migrating portions of it to ATM.  After hearing these
conflicting opinions I'm really not sure which path to take.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
John
