In reply to my own e-mail, I've had a very quick and helpful response from IPDialog, as follows:
"The current model SipTone(TM) II phone supports POE using PowerDsine's capacitive detection method, not 802.3af. The SipTone(TM) II phones may be powered from a PowerDsine 60xx midspan power injector. A new phone model, the SipTone(TM) III model, will become available in June 2005, and that model will support 802.3af. Here is some preliminary information about the new model: http://www.ipdialog.com/others/ipDialogSipToneIIIFeatures.pdf http://www.ipdialog.com/others/ipDialogSipToneIIISpecs.pdf" On Mon, 4 Apr 2005 21:05:47 +0100, George Gardiner wrote: > > I've just purchased a Netgear FS108P switch which has PoE (802.3af > standard) on 4 ports.
