Or, if you dont want to use outside modules use Asterisk 1.6 (which has
been released as well) with the chan_skinny driver.
A lot of development went into it and it's much more useable then the
1.2 version.
Myself uses chan_skinny in production without too much trouble.
Specially when you use the 7960 phones it's a nice setup.

What driver are you referring to ?
It must be something outside of the core asterisk, because a lot of
commits went into chan_skinny the last year or so.

Yes, chan_skinny in 1.4 is better then the 1.2 version, but the real
stuff happened in the 1.6 version.

1.6.0 is released, so why not use that one instead of 1.4?
