[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 SIP Images

[daryl at introspect.net]

What you and so may others on this lise seem to forget is that Cisco is a company offering bsuiness products for businesses.  Businesses typically pay by check and wire transfer, especially for items such as this.
 
If you want home-user pay-by-credit-card service, buy products from Belkin's home line and similar.
 
Oh...what's that?  None of these cheesy Stocked-at-Costco hardware companies have any VoIP phones worth a crap?  Then deal with the fact that you are buying from a company who doesn't target home users, and deal with it.  It costs Cisco more money than they make on the contract to offer SmartNet on a single device like this.  You're lucky they don't have a minimum device limit/contract cost of something like 5 devices or $300/year.  I'm guessing this type of policy would hardly effect more than several hundred of their customers, most of them with 7960's and similar.

	No, you can't use a credit card.  You have to send the #$!@@$#'s a 
	check.  It's really stupid, but it's the Cisco way.
