We have had some network issues with our SPA-841's as well. We ended up having to take the phone off our standard network. Even though it was a completely switched network, we believe sufficient ARP broadcasts packets were being sent to the phones to slow them down. Our symptom was choppy or "robotic" sound similar to what you'd expect with high packet loss, accompanied by extremely high "decode latency" numbers on the System page. Even that wasn't enough: we needed higher quality switches than the cheap ones we expected to be able to use, to avoid other sound quality issues which continued to crop up. This is good evidence as to why they didn't put 2 ethernet ports on the phone: it would only make things worse if you shared the port with a PC or workstation, I'd expect.
