IPSec. Bridging separate networks together is IMO IPSec's strong point. IPSec is also the most secure and uhm.. theoretically the most compatible. > Also - We are "considering" using IP Telephony to tie together the > phone systems.

If we opt for this option, I think QOS and overcapable POPs on the same ISP would likely do the trick. Get some latency and bandwidth specifications from the phone vendor. Important question - it'd be spiffy to actually do this, but is your job on the line if things go wrong?
