That's because we have almost 400 analog phones already wired in our building (which is very large). So we need to take advantage of the wiring.

Also, if we were to convert to an all-IP phone system (non-ATA), we would need to buy more ethernet switches (currently they're all full) and tunnel cables thtough ceilings and walls. In other words, it would cost a lot more than to simply buy ATAs. What I'm looking for however are STABLE, RELIABLE ATAs...

Thanks for the feedback,

You can actually buy IP Phones that have an Ethernet switch incorporated in them
and take advantage of your existing cabling infrastructure with no need for new switches etc.

I have only used Cisco 188 ATA without any troubles at all but those only have 2 ports and

not applicable for your situation.

Otherwise you can try Software SIP Phones if everyone is using a PC
