7940's - Handsets required?

Mattcnz

Hi,

With the purpose of using a VoIP phone purely in a lab environment, is a handset really required? Or am I wrong to assume to assume that you would be able to achieve all of the same results with the use of the inbuilt speaker?

I'm asking as 7940's cost $40-50 here with the handset, but can be picked up for $10 a piece without the handset/power adaptors.

Thanks in advance

Just keep looking, I've picked up 7940s complete with handsets for $20-25 shipped.

I think they would work. I can test that out tomorrow. We have tons of 7940s and 7960s.
