My config stuff was just for the Cisco 7960 part of it.  You will still
need to configure extensions and such in Asterisk.

I usually do something like this, assuming sip.conf is using [1000] and 
the context is set to local for your SIP phone.

/etc/asterisk/extensions.conf:
At the top:
PHONE1000=SIP/1000 at 1000

Later in the file:
[local]
exten => 1000,1,Dial(${PHONE1000},20)

This let's me easily change where extension 1000 rings.  The 
SIP/1000 at 1000 just tells Asterisk to call line '1000' at the device that 
is in sip.conf under [1000], which is needed on a Cisco IP phone, 
particularly if you have multiple lines configured.
