Hi, is there anyone trying a power over ethernet solution to feed IP phones? I'd like to buy a "good but cheap" hub/switch but I don't know which. Can anybody help me?? TIA Giorgio

Almost any distro will do, since 2.6 kenels are bleeding edge you might have to spend more time getting everything working, and in most cases you are best served by determining which distro your hardware manufacturer supports, Dell typically supports only redhat, HP supports suse on many boxes. While there are workarounds, having the hardware manufacturer deal with driver issues is a bonus.

I need to connect up to sixteen phones per building, I can use a cheap hub, but POE would be useful. Is there a cheap POE hub available? Everything I have seen has been expensive. Chris Mason
