[asterisk-users] Cisco 7960 sccp, Skinny and 1.4

[Wayne]

Thanks both,

The only thing I have a little concern over is that 1.6 is that its 
still a development release (if I understand things correctly). 
Stability is the main thing for me (its only a very small set up) but 
there are no technical people around if something were to go wrong 
through the day.

I shall take another look at both options.

Thank you
Wayne.
