Hi, Am not sure if am late on this one. This feature is not only specific to Cisco, actually most IP phones will have two ethernet ports, one to the network and one to the PC. No special cable is required, your ussual cat-5/6 cable will work fine here, you need a patch cord from phone to PC. Also you need an IP Telephony system as your back-end to work with the IP Phone. I have not worked with this technology on any analog system, am not sure how it would work out but would be interested to see that set-up. You can buy IP Phones with this capability, also powered by the same cable on PoE starting from Ksh.8,000 from www.talinda.net Thanks & Regards, Eunice

IT is called the CISCO IP phone system, it uses the same connection for data and voice

Corrections are welcome as to whether my thinking is correct, but a computer using a non-poe (ordinary LAN) cabling system uses only 4 strands (1,2,3,6) so you can carry two analog phone channels on that as well _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Rules http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 ------------ Other services @ http://my.co.ke
