asterisk users - Jul 2003 - Fwd:[Vocal] Question about Cisco IP hard phones

Interesting notes on the 79xx series.

The 7920 is the wireless phone; not mentioned here.

For a more complete guide to Cisco's phones, see:
 
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/phones/ps379/products_data_sheets_list.html

The 7902 is the "very inexpensive" Cisco phone, and it looks like it 
will be SCCP (Skinny) only.  Twiddling my thumbs here waiting for the 
chan_sccp to appear..... ;-)

chan_sccp would be nice :)

I've been playing around with the 7960's and have really enjoyed the
7960 as
a desktop phone.  It's physically well constructed, has a sturdy/heavy
handset (a good thing in my book), a very pleasant user interface...  And if
you're willing to make changes to your network setup to accomodate it's
presently finicky firmwarre, you'll be ok...

The firmware issue for the 7960 SIP is yet to be resolved, but hopefully
it'll come around...

I think the entire 79XX lines of phones by Cisco has lots of promise, but we
won't really see the others (than the 7960/7940) be much use in Asterisk
until there is native support in Asterisk for sccp...  I did hear a rumor
that someone was working on it...
