The dealer is wrong.

That phone can have the "call manager" firmware on it (requiring a $15k
CM server), or the SIP software load.  All you need is access to CCO to
get the SIP image, and a tftp server to get it on the phone.

If dealers knew anything about technology they would be
technicians/engineers, making far more than the salespeople they
currently are.  Oh...sorry...did I type that?
