[asterisk-users] Cisco Dropping SIP support?

[peder at networkoblivion.com]

They are probably referring to the fact that the base 7960 is End of 
Life and the 7960G is probably going to be EOL soon as well, so they 
won't offer new firmware at the EOL milestone.  They have been replaced 
by the 7961.  Completely different firmware and configuration, but there 
still is support for SIP.
