[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 SIP Firmware

[Jerry]

I would suggest contacting a dealer until you find one who will sell 
you a maintenance contract for the phone. Last I checked, over a year 
ago, they were somewhere around $10-$20. Once you have a contract you 
may register online and download all the software you need. However to 
use legally you would have the pay the ~$50 license fee for SIP.
