Anton: Yes, the whole legally licensing the phones from Cisco is a major drawback. I just compiled and install the chan_sccp-mayday CVS snapshot. It works like a charm (thanks Julien!). In fact, I did some dialing and redialing to my 7960 (SIP) from my 7910 and the 7960 ended up needing to be rebooted. I was quite pleasantly surprised; the 7910/chan_sccp seemed to be having a field day.
Here is what I have found for the 7910: -> Hold button works (a little weird when more than one call) -> Line button brings up the line -> Transfer button doesn't seem to work -> Msgs button doesn't seem to work -> Conf button doesn't seem to to work -> Forward button doesn't seem to work -> Speed1 doesn't seem to work -> Speed2 doesn't seem to work -> Redial works Hope this helps. -Andy On 5/1/05, Julien Goodwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sat, Apr 30, 2005 at 01:00:18PM -0500, Andy Hamilton arranged a set of > bits into the following: > > I'll be able to get back to you Sunday night about specifics; the > > phone is not where I am right now.
