You should be able to use 10baseT over Cat 3 cables.
A half decent manageable 10/100 switch will be able to lock the ports to 
10Mb. 10 megabits is plenty for voice.

Depending on the quality of the wiring, your mileage may vary. Take care 
to use proper structured wiring techniques. Put Cat5 sockets on the desk 
end and a patch panel in the closet. DO NOT crimp RJ45 connectors onto 
building wiring. They are not meant for this type of cable and THEY WILL 
NOT BE RELIABLE.

Drew
