That's funny, reminds me of the tours that we used to do in our data center.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars of high technology and the predictable
attention getter was a patch panel that had 3 red lights for each port,
CD-RD-
TD.  It's amazing what pretty lights do to people....

Subject:        Actually, you'd be suprised.. [7:37298]

Actually, you'd be suprised how big a selling point it is to have a phone
running on a iPaq at a tradeshow.  Sure, it's a gimick, but it flashy and
get the attention of the guys holding the puse strings.

Oh, sure, you can talk for hours about reduced facility costs by using one
network, or reduced administartion costs due to mobility and ease of
configuration;  You'll get blank stares.  You can explain how IP telephony
can combine half a dozen call centers spread over half the globe into one
logical unit and you'll get a couple yawns.  But whip out your iPaq and send
and receive PSTN calls and they eat it up.  Bright and shiny.  Yeah, that's
usually all you need :)
