Yeah, that's a problem, for sure. It's a "no one ever got fired for buying IBM" kind of thing. Actually, I'm fairly impressed with the 7960 though. > I'd prefer someone else who will provide firmware > fixes/updates without a contract. That'd be, let's see, um, oh, "everyone except Cisco" I think. My own reading suggests that Polycom would be the next thing to try. They have a number of phones roughly equivalent to the various Ciscos, followed fairly closely by the Snom phones. You will, of course, hear other opinions. > Say, where's the wiki?
