Hi - Jeremy

Well - I only refer to what I've been told : "Cisco CallManager use skinny
protocol communicate to their IP phones, which is a subset of H.323 - But
communication between CCM and Voicegateway like 6608-E1/T1 board is using
Skinny Client Control Protocol". But then again Cisco could say these things
in order to sell more 
AVVID solution - But they must use some sort of propriaty standard on their
IP phones which makes it difficult to use non-cisco IP phones (Other Vendors
H.323 devices has to be specified as H.323 endpoints). It can have been some
sort of "sales trick" to make it easy understandable for us guys and our
customers. I've never tried to setup a Cisco Callmanager to work with
non-cisco products only through a PRI interface. So I had no reason to
question their statement. These statements is a year old or so - I haven't
worked with Cisco for about a year. But lots of things has happened since
that time.

I tried looking into is on CCO - Did'nt get clear definitions on IP phones,
only about SCCP towards gateway, so you're probably right.
