 Anyone know if the Cisco 7940 would work?

Hello list,


I am doing some work for a non profit group.


As part of this, I am going to be putting in a 30 handset Asterisk solution.  We are trying to keep the costs down as much as possible, as this job includes cabling, I am looking at POE solutions.


On the switch side, I am considering something like some Netgear ProSafe FS726TP 24 port switches, or maybe the equivalent Linksys SRW224MP 24 port switch.  About 4 of these will run the phones and computers on the network connecting back to a gigabit switch handling the phone and other servers.


On the phone side VOIP phones


The price range sort of limits me to:


* Aastra 9112i
* Snom 300
* Polycom 320
* Cisco CP-7906G (But I believe this won't handle SIP out of the box?)


Any good bad stories of the above?


One thing I like about the Aastra is being able to go POE from a switch, to the Aastra, then out of the second port on the Aastra and into the PC.


Regards


Mikel
