A while back (quite a while actually) someone on the list mentioned that 
the 3com phones download their program from the 3com pbx every time they 
power up. Without the program they are unable to operate. All this is 
second- or third hand information.

Once bootstrapped they may be regular sip phones. Try searching the list 
for "3com 3102".
