It was my impression that these phones had 10MB ehternet connections and not
100MB. Not that most of us would notice the difference in browsing the net,
it does defeat the purpose of having 100MB switches. (I believe I also saw
people on this list talking about strange things happening when they wired
the phones/pcs up this way.)
