We have about 200 79x1's running SIP w/ asterisk and we are very pleased 
despite some of the non-standard things Cisco does. 
In answer to question 1 the only way we have found to reboot the phone 
remotely is shutdown the port on the POE switch.  This will drop the 
PC's network as well if it is plugged into the phone. 
Question 2 I would like to know the answer to myself.  I would be 
curious to know if it works with the SIP image in call manager.
