Great Study guide AND reference book August 5, 2008
David A. Lillis (Dallas, TX)
Well I originally bought this book to help study for the CVOICE exam. I certainly used it for that and then some. It covered all of the exam topics pretty well and for me was an easy read. I passed the exam easily. What I didnt realize was that I would use it even more after the fact for a reference. Definitely worth the money for this book.
 A good book without practical case studies June 18, 2008

As I did not understand FXS and FXO, I bought this book. But unfortunately it does not explain very clearly all the relevant analogue and digital trunk technologies. The exercises are too simple without any practical use, most figures are copied from Cisco web site, and some sentences are copied word by word. I recommend this book to those light readers only, who just want to understand some basic concepts. In my opinion it is not very useful for network engineers. Hope the new version will change a lot.
 Good on VoIP theory focused on Cisco equipment. February 29, 2008
Rodrigo De Vincenzo Monteiro (Sao Paulo, SP Brazil)
Kevin makes very clear and concise explanation of VoIP/IPT applied to Cisco equipment, sample configurations for dial-peers, differences between call processing methods like SIP, H.323 and MGCP, bandwidth usage on different types of media and networks and how to calculate amounts of calls to be provised.
 Not properly proof-read and insufficient coverage January 30, 2008
Z. Lal (Bedfordshire, United Kingdom)
I read this book primarily to pass the CVOICE exam.
First off, this book barely provides adequate coverage of the questions that come up in the exam. I kept seeing questions and thinking, hey, this wasn't in the book!
I don't think I would have passed the exam if I had relied solely on this book. It's got too many niggling errors and some poorly explained sections that look like the author was writing them in the small hours or after a few pints.
You need to check the web site, 3rd party prep guides and course notes to be sure of success.
