We have two setup as they were implemented at two different times.  
 
First one is a total separate system for the phones and they work with POE 
switches.  There is a Vlan setup to access the system, which could allow me to 
expand the phone system on the regular system, but would have to provide power.
 
The second one is integrated with the data network, but is in it's own vlan.  
We provide power before the switch so the switches are plain old layer 2 
switches, but the phones connect first to the network and then the computer 
works off of the phone, but in it's own vlan.
 
We run a cisco network, but the phones are 3Com.

For those of you with VOIP throughout your buildings:
 
Do you use the switch many phones provide to feed the phone and computer?
Do you use AC adapters or widespread PoE?
Do you have all your phones on a different VLAN?
