A good rule of thumb for telephones on a network or other digital 
type phone system is 64k per telephone, for all telephones 
concurrently being used to talk. That is called a channel by the 
telephone service providers. Enough phones on a section of the 
network could overload the switches, conceivably. That would only 
take around 160 phones all routed through the same 10mb leg of the 
network.
