We better shut down the mailing list then, it'll never work. LOL!
You need to rephrase that whole sentence. The Internet isn't
"inherently unstable" at all. It's just not built for circuit-switched
voice. It CAN be used as transport for voice with the right design,
monitoring, and EXPENSE... but if you're going to go through all of the
necessary questions and redundant hardware tests to get that level of
service, you might as well just pay for a POTS line which comes with
highly-redundant hardware driving it, and battery backup thrown in for free.
