OK, point taken.

but i have 6xisdn2 and already 2x24 gigabit switches (will need to 
replace one with a PoE version ) these connections include both desktops 
and current phones.

i was just hoping to cut back the amount of cabling with 50%, and when i 
found out that most phones with 10/100/1000 connection cost about 250,- 
euro's a piece instead of 90,- for a decent version with 10/100 it was a 
real bummer, it would mean about doubling my budget.
