Thank you, Peter. I also had not considered that option! About 6-7-8+ years ago, we used these devices for some clients, and they worked reasonably well. However, (for the sake of lurkers here!): - they were slow-ish, - they were very problematic in buildings where 3-phase was used, and in old buildings with mysterious/multiple mains runs, - they were very problematic if some desktop PCs had PSUs from specific manufacturers (presumably cheap-and-nasty devices). This was a huge problem, and required the replacement of apparently working PSUs is the PCs. No other office devices (faxes, monitors, photocopiers, kettles, microwaves even!, etc, etc, presented these problems). So, we've not used them in the past few years - even though their performance might have improved significantly. We'll certainly take another look at them, especially where the mains cabling is new/simple. Thank you. - Mike On 03/04/2011 00:55, Peter Steinbach wrote:
For a desktop phone you may also use a powerline adapter when no copper network is there.
