Eveyone has CAT5 for their desktop connection, I am not sure about pros and
cons to share this data line with IP phones.
we have 200 people and about 40 lines in different buildings but all local,
With our structure do you think that we can save money if we go with VOIP?
Do you think that the maintenance would be cheaper and easier, is that
going to be more work for IT people, do they need to take special training?
Is it ok to use the existineg phones (with some basic options like
forwarding...) with VOIP?
