The existing infrastructure I'm speaking of is the existing voice
infrastructure. It currently supports a digital PBX. No IP whatsoever,
but the wiring is rated for 10BaseT. As we look to replace the digital
PBX with VoIP, my options are to abandon that wiring and start using our
data network, or upgrade our existing voice infrastructure to support
VoIP. The numbers are showing It would be cost prohibitive to upgrade
our existing data network to support VoIP. ...and I think you've just
supported one of my reasons for continuing to keep voice and data
networks separate. Since the voice network will be completely and
physically separate from any non-voice data, and all devices on that
network are phones, it just became a lot less complicated. ...and I'm
only talking 10Mb between the phone and the switch. All switches would
be interconnected either with 100 or 1000. Thanks for the response. Jason

the phones. ...and I can still stay within standard.
You can, but not all phones will link up at 10Mbps.

Are you realy shure you want to do that?
I mean _existing_ infra (with probably a number of other (non-voip)
machines connected to it?
Even on a 100Mbps network, if one of the machines on the same network is
doing a rsync-job (no saturation), I notice a drop in voip-quality.
Adding voip to existing infra might work, if your network is good
enough, like Gb with enough unused bandwith and low latency. Or if you
can tell complaining users, that it is a temporary solution.
