While I will concede that the Cisco 7960 can be initially difficult to setup, provisioning of additional phones is a breeze once you have the initial configuration and services in place (things like DHCP, TFTP, etc). I purchased a few more recently, and can have additional phones talking to Asterisk in a matter of a minute or two - this includes the process of converting to SIP. The additional features are nice too. I'm making use of CCXML. You can press Directories -> external and get an employee directory, a list of call queues (convenient for transferring calls straight into a queue) and more. By pressing services, you can get access to a company quick reference which has things like our phone numbers, details on hosting plans, service addons, etc. - handy when you're on a call and don't have the info up on your computer screen. Overall it's a very functional phone and I certainly don't regret the expense in purchasing them (something I was initially worried about). -Shaun _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
