Both phones support SIP.

I can't speak for the 7912G, but I have several 7905G phones and these
work perfectly with Asterisk.

The firmware is easy to obtain if you have a Cisco support agreement -
it's downloadable from CCO (the 7905G and 7912G have different
firmware builds, but a similar configuration process - be aware of
that).
