[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960s and skinny

[Yusuf Iqbal]

Hi Andy,
I have been trying to get 7910's work with *. I have tried with both
skinny and chan_sccp. Could you please instruct me about the
configuration? I have found some detalis about 7920 with sccp in
voip-info.org. But I haven't find any document for 7910. Please help
me to get them work properly. I have four 7960's and working fine with
SIP.But I am in trouble with those (total of 8) 7910 IP phones.
