[asterisk-users] Cisco 7940G licensing with asterisk

[Peder @ NetworkOblivion]

Yes, you need to buy a license if you use it with ANY pbx, whether it is 
Callmangler or Asterisk or whatever.  If you buy one used, then you need 
to pay to re-license it as well.

The 7940/7960 only work with Cisco PoE, not standard 802.3af, so you 
will need a switch that provides Cisco PoE for it to work.
