A standard SIP VOIP phone will use less than 100k per voice call. For example I have several bussiness customers that have a dedicated DSL line and they do up to 6 lines very well on that 1.5x384 (we do g729 which is 37k per call). If your networks drops can test solid at 10mb you should be in good shape if they do not run solid at 100mb you should force the switch port to negoitate to 10mb not 100mb. Make sure the POE switches you are looking at allow you to force the port speed this may save you in the long run. Also make sure that the POE switch can handle the load and run lengths you are looking to put on it. <br />

Thanks for the info. As we move forward, we'll be testing and making a <br />
phone selections. No doubt we'll run into this. Are you saying if the <br />
phone is stated to be a 10/100 phone, it still may not work at 10?<br />
