Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Question:
What kind of equipment do I need?
Answer:
A broadband Internet connection. You can use a regular phone, as long as you connect it to an adapter. However, companies such as Cisco Systems Inc. now make VoIP phones that don't require adapters. The adapter or new VoIP phone connects to a broadband modem. Some VoIP providers can link to an entire home's wiring so adapters aren't required at each extension.
