I must state, that I am not found of "modular" connections on a phones system. Makes for a real mess when people go in and start moving extensions around and just doesn't look neat and professional. I'm with Hal, would much prefer an Amphenol and 66 Blocks, like the Norstar ICS units use. But when IP phones start getting installed (not sure why you'd need them anyways....as a digital phone will do everything an IP phone will in the office w/o as much hassle), I am guessing a patch panel is the only way to go for those.

I was just curious as to how others were implementing their connections.
