I found the Nortel VoIP phones were as good as other PBX system, but it was setup by having a special card sitting in a meridian 1 switch, running on 100MB ethernet hooked up to a Nortel shasta.. great fun. and all the features you could ever want. (IVR, voice mail, etc...) - but not really a setup you would have in a domestic environment, purely because of cost and rack space required.
The ciscos VoIP kit by comparison never worked any where near as well and were very disapointing - if you have a choice always go for the nortel, or at least test out the ciscos for yourself before you buy (they may have improved and/or have a configuration that works for you..)
