Unfortunatley, all the Cisco resellers in Europe I have approached don't
seem to be interested in carrying these low value contracts
(CON-SNT-CP7960 or CON-SNT-ATA186) or don't want to deal in such low
volumes and have no method of dealing with such sales.

Cisco want you to talk to their resellers, which brings you back right
where you started.

So to summarise:

1/ Cisco will not sell direct.
2/ North American Resellers will not sell to Europe.
3/ European Resellers do/will not sell single contracts

What route is left for guy with a few Cisco phones in Europe?

Piracy?
