Right again, Greg. My VOIP phones from my office system 40 miles away "require" a 100Base-T connection, yet they work just fine on my workaround solution. Don't get me wrong, I could have easily added more cable, but I just couldn't justify the expense.
My wife hasn't had to go to the office in three years using her IP phone over our 'sub-standard' network. These phones are also showing as being on a 100MBps connection on my auto-sensing switch, meaning that my wiring that supposedly won't work is working just fine.
Quality jacks and hardware really are the true key to an operational network, not that cheap imported stuff marketed under the names of major electrical equipment manufacturers.
