A quick Google tells me that the Toshiba Strategy isn't VoIP phone. If it's a plain ol' phone system and it ran on cat3, cat 6 will be just fine. Overkill, but fine none-the-less. If you plan it out right, you'll be in a better position for VoIP when you get there.

Since the plan is for us to stay here another 10 years recabling is high on my list. I'd like to recable the office with Cat 6 everywhere, including phone ports, but I'm unsure if the phones support Cat 6. We're using a Toshiba Stratagy and will likely keep it based on my previous lack of success for getting the owners to update. Can most older phone systems be run over Cat 6 cabling (looks like we're running over Cat 3 now)? I'd ask our vendor but he's a bit intractable. I'd like to have flexibility for future, should the owners decide to change their mind.
