The list archives of chan-sccp-users provides a lot of information. 
www.voip-info.org also has. There are a number of ressources at 
cisco.com and if all this does not help, the people at chan-sccp-users 
or forum.chan-sccp.org use to friendly answer questions.
There are also a number of people working at various howtos at the moment.

Regards,
Stefan
