[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7914 Expansion Unit (for 7960G IP Phone) & Help With 7960's Speed-dials

[Brian West]

7914's don't work with SIP.  SCCP only.  And why do people keep talking
about this 8 dollar CCO account ... Its a service contract on the Cisco
ATA-186.  The one for the 79XX's are over 80.00/yr
