I don't know about other Cisco stuff, I don't like Cisco 'support' and 
their licensing crap, I'm not buying it :)

The problems I had (have):
- if one phone is talking and a new call is coming in audio is muted on 
the first call (I'm now trying Sergio's version to see if it's better)
- * segfaults when you pressed the on hook key on a handset but changed 
your mind and hung up again without pressing any digit (but again Sergio's 
driver may change that
- i have 4 phones registered to it, some phones do not ring, sometimes 
they do, sometimes they don't (even with Sergios sccp)
- caller id is only displayed on the phones for a split second (which may 
be a Kirk fw bug)

The best version (for me) of chan_sccp so far is Sergio's version 
chan_sccp-20050715
