hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After today's long wrestling match with distribute-lists, I needed a good laugh!!! :-> long live pointy haired bosses everywhere!!!!!!!
1) ip telephones will work just fine with a 2950 switch. But because the switch doesn't supply in line power, you must also have the external power blocks for the phones. You have to specify these when you order. Cisco normally does not ship them with the phones. 2) you also need a Call Manager, which is an NT or Win2K server with the Call Manager software installed. It is best you buy what Cisco recommends. You can NOT just take any old Win server and make it a Call Manager. It MUST be the Cisco OEM version of NT or Win2K Pointy-hair should also know that for ten phones, VoIP is probably not worth it. Not unless you have opportunity for significant savings due to toll bypass, and have the equipment in place to do toll bypass. Best wishes.
