Nope, same exerience as Johns here. Runaround trying to find a reseller,
got a softnet (not smartnet) contract for ~ EUR8 that allows access to
CCO; no information available on what else this might include. Waited
two weeks for the Service Tokens to arrive by mail only to find out that
the online registration site listed on the contracts doesn't know how to
handle softnet.

Waited another 2 1/2 Weeks for cisco to manually activate the contracts.

Cisoc data sheet for the 7940 states:

Other Cisco IP Phone 7940G features include:
	G.711 and G.729a audio compression 
	H.323 compatible and Microsoft NetMeeting compatibility 

When asked about h.323 compatibility git told that the phone works with
cisco call manager, and since that supports h.323, it enables the phone
to work with h.323... No comment necessary I think.

Bye, Martin
