There are some models of wireless desktop SIP phones.. you may want to
check into that option too. I have in rare cases with teleworkers used
the set up described by Chad and it works as long as the PC is on.

You'd need to setup Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on all the XP
machines with a different Subnet for each USB dongle, and then route
the traffic through each XP machine.
You could get an Access point which support Bridge Mode, one for each
group of phones in a physical area, but then you add another layer of
complexity...
Why do they want to avoid cabling, most of the time it's cheaper in
the long run, especially if they plan on using their phones to
generate income...
