Nope, not an ethernet phone at all.  Looks like someone was trying to scam
them off as IP Phones.  They're just flashy chrome plated analog phones
that should, in theory, work with the TDM400P.

To answer your first question, yes you can have a TDM400P and 2 X100Ps in
your computer.  You just need to make sure they each get their own
interrupts on the PCI bus or you'll get weird juju happening when you try
to run the MeetMe application.
