    digitizing the voice stream to provide digital voice data;

    compressing the digital voice data;

    packetizing the digital voice data according to an internet protocol for communication over the network;

    transmitting via wireless communication the digital voice data packets;

    receiving digital voice data packets communicated over the network;

    converting the received digital voice data packets to a voice stream;

    buffering, for a buffer time, depacketized digital voice data before converting the digital voice data to a voice stream, the buffer time being adjustable to accommodate variations in propagation times over the network; and

    wherein the buffer time is based upon a period of time between sending at least one communication to the origin of received digital voice data packets, and receiving at least one corresponding response communication from the origin of the received digital voice data packets.
