I would prefer a phone with a decent switch in it over any of these solutions. Small desktop switches generally don't have any QOS, tend to look bad under a desk, and require another power outlet. The switching wall plates from Cisco and 3com cost almost as much as the IP phones we are trying to sell our customers, and many of the customers don't have wall plates to begin with. Pulling another cable is fairly expensive, requires another port on the switch, and having people on ladders stringing cable is usually a bit annoying to the employees of the business. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
