This is great! The 7905G is what I have in mind for a plain basic phone
and the 7940 where a speaker phone is needed.

Cisco support for the phones is certainly on the reasonable side,
especially since it includes hardware replacement, not just software
support.

Now all I need to find is a low-cost switch that supports PoE for Cisco
phones. A 3550 for my home is very unreasonable, IMHO.
