I have not had much luck with chan_sccp, yet.  I have about 40 7910's 
and everytime I try them, Asterisk crashes after about 15 minutes.  
Skinny seems to work a little better, but it's missing some features 
like WMI and the phone does give a ringing status when calling out on 
it.  I tried the newest version of chan_sccp today and it also bombed on 
me.  It seems like once a get a few of the following in the log file is 
when it chokes:

ERROR[19583]: Erp, tried to hangup when we didn't have an active channel?!

Running this on 1.0.7.  Any else got chan_sccp working?
