<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=252494118-04032008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2> I am using a 7960 as my desk phone with Asterisk
1.2.26. It WAS a pain to upgrade but I found the key was to start at the
oldest Cisco SIP firmware available. It would not eat any other version
until I began from the beginning. I have yet to find time to get mine up
to date. I am running application POS3-03-00, boot load PC030301.
You can find it on Cisco's site since you have smartnet, (I also buy
smartnet for every Cisco phone I will be
using). </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=252494118-04032008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2> Overall I am VERY impressed. I have used
Grandstream :-( Aastra :-) Polycom :-) and Linksys :-) and Avaya
:-) phones on Asterisk. First place for handset sound quality is a close
tie between Polycom, Avaya, and Cisco. Absolute first place for speaker
phone is Polycom. First place for easy config is Aastra. Last
place for everything is Grandstream. :-O</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

upgrade<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I couldn't figure it out on my own. I tried
to purchase a Smartnet for the phone, but the original 7960 is not
supported.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is it technically possible and if so, what
would it cost me to have someone remote into my network and upgrade my SCCP
7960 to the latest SIP firmware?</FONT></DIV>
