Niles,

Thanks for the guess. We don't have any PoE equipment in out setup. On further
review it seems the phone is sending power down the network cable... Definitly
a hardware problem. Seems to have fried a port on a Linksys workgroup switch.
(the port shows a link with nothing connected) but at least it didn't fry our
main Dell switches.

Robert,
"asterisk supprt"???? Are you kidding me? What's with all the list cops? I
wanted to see if anyone had seen anything like this. I wan't demanding that
someone diagnose and repair my problem...

Man, this list is decaying fast!
