I may be able to help.

That PC client is also how Nortel plans to "support" SIP.

I would think that Nortel's i2050 softphone uses UNISTIM as well. That'd
take up a lot less desk space, and save on shipping costs. All you'd
need is a thrill-seeker's love of danger, which is required before any
sane person can seriously consider installing Nortel software on a PC
:-Þ

Anyway, I may be able to help with procurement. The way I see it, when
Nortel finally goes belly up, there'll be a lot of people with dying
Nortel machines and useless Nortel phones that'll be ready for a VoIP
PBX that actually works. Might as well get Asterisk ready, cause Nortel
sure as heck never will be . . . 

Oops, was I foaming at the mouth? Is there some kind of therapy for
Nortel PBX geeks? Perhaps a support group?

Ah well, don't worry too much about me; ever since I discovered
Asterisk, I've been feeling much better . . .

Cheers,

Jim.
