Jim, we recently deployed vutelepresence units, they are decent and weren't very expensive (@ 1500/unit with 5 pc clients). We found them because they do 720p conferencing with about 500k of bandwidth. We deployed one to Florida, Penn , and the UK for our client and they all seem to be pretty happy with them.
I think the company still has some ways to go but the product works pretty well. Their sales/support was a little slow to respond.

We have a VSX 7000, which is really old, but there's a PC client for it that seems to work really well. The Polycom (software client and hardware unit) supports encryption, and the hardware unit can do multi-point communication. We decided not to go with the software client, but in my tests it performed just fine.
