[asterisk-users] SLA Appearance between 2 Cisco 7960's (SIP)

[Jason Howk]

>From reading the SLA docs, SIP hints are use to get the lights on the
phone to show the "correct state".  I was under the impression that the
SIP firmware on the 7960's didn't support the SIP hints properly (or at
all), which means that SLA won't work properly on a 7960.

If anyone has gotten this to work, I'd like to hear about it.
