Hi Robert, While I'm not sure how our network compares with yours, we run about twenty 601 phones along with our office workstations (some stations are without a phone). Each station with a phone is connected with the other Ethernet port on the phone so we have one drop to each station. The phones are on a separate VLAN from the rest of the network as well. From the user end, I have not had a report of any problems with the connections, call quality, etc. I would say give it a shot, maybe with a larger network that could change, but for a small office like I'm in charge of, it is working just fine.
