From: "Glenn Meadows" 

Our Voice over Ethernet is the 3Com NBX system.  I have to say, it has been
ULTRA reliable the whole 2+ years I've been here.  Solid as a rock, no
crashes, no problems at all, really.  Each phone can be a network
"hub" in an office, so fitting into existing offices with only 1
network jack works. Plug the phone in, and the extra jack hubs right
through, so both run down the same wire.  You can even buy a powered
"hub" that goes in the jackbay, and feeds power down the unused
pairs to power the phone centrally, so there can be no wall warts.  Unplug
a phone in one office, plug it in somewhere else, and it comes up as the
same extension, the system doesn't care where within the local network it's
plugged in.
