[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7940/7960 SIP functionality questions

[David Carter]

Hello,

I'm considering using Asterisk with some type of Cisco phone, and currently
considering either the 7940 or 7960 because of its more-complete functionality
(compared to the 7905).

I'm currently wondering:

	Do all the expected functions (transfer, conference, voice mail, message
	waiting indicator, etc.) work normally with Asterisk over SIP?

	What caveats are known about using these phones with SIP, as opposed to
	Cisco's proprietary SCCP?  If an SCCP module is available for Asterisk,
	how functional is it?

	How customizable are the phone menus while using SIP (or if a SCCP
	module is available, using SCCP)?

Cisco doesn't seem to have much documentation online about using these phones
in SIP mode, so if anyone is using these phones now, I'd appreciate hearing
about your experiences.

	Thanks!
