Thanks Tom! Wasn't aware of that. Installed Asterisk by hand to do some learning, but getting a Cisco phone up and running is not something that I'd like to spend more time than necessary to do.
I'll let you know how it works out.

Take a spare PC, install [EMAIL PROTECTED], setup the included DHCP server, install the appropriate files in the /tftpboot directory, and plug the PC and the phone into the same switch. Voila!
