But rumor has it that there have been some 2600 images where the NM-1FE did work.... Good Luck finding one. Not sure if any of the image names have been posted -- might be worth some time searching the Cisco forum for various keywords.
What are the best VoIP converters for regular telephones (I cannot afford Cisco IP phones)?
Do these dongles support frame tagging? Do I have to set the switchports being used for the phones as trunks?

Question though, my understanding is that it is better to have VOICE and DATA vlans configured with their own dedicated FastEthernet port as opposed to a subinterface on a router, through a trunk or not? Is this not right?
Seeing as how I just using an Asterisk server, which will be on the VOICE vlan I don't think I have any use for an FXO card or PVDM's do I?
