Also worth mentioning that VOIP phones play nicely with wireless
access points - so you can plug 'em in to e.g. a Linksys WET11 if it
isn't convenient to run cat5 to a given location.

And also, Cisco 79 series phones, whilst a bit pricy, have a nice
built in simple xml browser which is ideal for HA applications. The
only fly in the ointment is that the SIP variants of the cisco phone
don't support push to the display, which is a shame.
