I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

No, I was talking more specifically about the adapter services.  Where they give you an adapter that you can plug a regular phone into.

That's the paid version of Skype.

My school district uses a Voice Over IP system and its awesome. It has POE (Power Over Ethernet), which is also really nice. No power adaptors (assuming the network run you're using is plugged into a switch that supports POE).

I don't know how practical it would be for home/small office use, but for bigger things like schools/companies, its defenitely the way to go.

Wow, thanks Sidoh, that POE looks pretty interesting form what I've read on google.
I was also looking at that Vonage service, which comes with a free cisco adapter, and is just 24 bucks a month for unlimited everything.

Good deal.

Oh yeah - should have mentioned: we're using Cisco EVERYTHING for the VoIP system. I've a "Cisco IP Phone 7940 Series" sittin' on this desk. :)

Well it seesm that cisco has really gotten this VoIP stuff down, a lot of people who are complaining about Vonage either have internet that doesn't have a constant and consisitant connection or are using another adapter.

Yes, the phone system has worked flawlessly.

Actually, it was kinda neat. A while ago, the power got cut to our whole town, but since our POE switches were on a UPS, our phones were up for about 15 minutes after the blackout. I went to go call the net admin on a phone in a dark room and then realized "Hey, these are workign! What the hell?!" Haha, it was kind of neat.
