Re: [Astlinux-users] Cisco 8945 phones
Hi thanks Lonnie Yes they would be refurbished ones. The 8845/65 is out and will support Third Party Call Control next year. Some people like video phones as you can see the non-verbals which interestingly is 2/3 of communication.

[Astlinux-users] Cisco 8945 phones
Hi Group I have a customer who really want to use Cisco 8945 phones with video. Yes I know they are supported with an Asterisk patch and this document looks quite detailed: http://docs.acsdata.co.nz/asterisk-cisco/document-overview.shtml Alternatively I will be providing an option to use the Yealink T49G which are way more expensive and are not PoE but I feel way more comfortable using since I natively support Yealink phones. 1) Has anyone have experience with supporting Cisco phones with the Asterisk patch? 2) Has anyone played with the Yealink T49G which there are not many reviews online PS. for interest, Cisco is providing the 78xx and 88xx series IP Phones in a Third Party Call Control variant which is OFFICIALLY supported with Asterisk. The config looks identical to SPA phones so that should be interesting to play with. Note you have to buy them as this and can only move to an enterprise software load, not back.
