	And if you've got GigE installed, not 10/100Mb, and your LAN doesn't
have a switch that can handle a phone's lower bitrate without bringing
down the whole LAN's rate.

	Also, are there any IP phones that run apps other than telephony, like
video, which could use more than 100Mb, even if just while switching
streams?
