[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 + SIP

[Shaun Ewing]

I wonder if it's a comparable price in Australia.

I might give Cisco a call on Monday.

Thanks Steve, and thanks to all who offered their advice. I'm now happily
running the Cisco 7960 with SIP and will now know what to do quickly and
easily when I get more.

-Shaun
