It's really hard to secure an IP network once someone puts a hostile server on the network. If you run ethernet to the rooms someone is going to unplug the phone, plug in their laptop, and see what havoc they can wreak. Ping flooding, DHCP servers, network/port scans, arp poisoning, spoofing calls

IMHO, I would imagine that you would be best advised to use the existing analog phones and wiring with a channel bank or two, and then use the cat5 cable for internet. I think it might even be possible to make the MWI on the analog hotel phones work with Asterisk. Billing, however, is a who
