I'm sure this has probably been discussed many times. I will also do a research in addition to this....

My question is what do you people think about running VoIP applications through a VPN connection? We have a site with a full T1 to the Internet. One with a Fractional-T1 of 768k to the Internet. Latency between the two site is 120ms - 130ms on average. We have 30 phone users at both locations. We are planning on install two new IP-capable switches or phone systems. Will the quality of voice going over this VPN be acceptable, poor, or totally a bad idea? Who has done this route and how is it?

There's many sites that already do this.

There's no technological problems with it... quality difference between the two is not noticeable (I don't know about international though).

Other than the original cost outlay, there's no problem with it. Make sure you spec a good fast server/hardware and it'll be fine.
