Hi,

I never played with the 7920, but the 7905 and 7960 are
working perfect with the chan_sccp from berlios.
I had the phones running on SIP for a while, but reverted to
SCCP because it performs better on the phones. Plus you get
those nice xml interfaces on the 7905 :))
It's running here for some time now and I have yet to
encounter the first real problem.

Maybe the Hitatchi WP-5000 does multiple lines. From what
I've heard it's a good wifi phone device. It even handles
switching accesspoints while in a call :)

Hope this helps a little.
