I see no reason why it can't be done in principle;  the vendor or VAR is 
just being dismissive of open-source, lest the customer suspect they 
might be able to do everything the UC560 can do with open-source 
components without paying for a UC560.

The only sticking point is whether this endpoint, like Cisco Call 
Manager, by default does SDP offer in the 200 OK and answer in the ACK. 
  This is an SDP offer-answer flow prescribed by RFC 3261 as valid but 
not supported by Asterisk, as best as I can tell, even in 1.8.
