<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">For an office that is using VoIP phones
to connect to Asterisk, is gigabit ethernet really necessary for the Asterisk
box to connect to the switch? I know that I won't even approach the limits
of 100 Mbps, but would gigabit help with latency / collisions when several
calls are underway? The fact is, anything going outside the office will
be over a data T1, so intuition tells me that 100 Mbps should be fine...
The office will have 20 phones, with remote VoIP phones added to
the mix later on.</font>
