It is not likely to find a legal SIP firmware for $12. Not the CD makes
it legal but the license from Cisco and this is a little more expensive.
Besides from this, Cisco's license agreement does not permit the license
to be resold, so to have a legal license, you need to get it from a
Cisco partner or at least authorized reseller.

Anyway, compared to the SCCP image, the SIP image is very bad.
Incomplete XML support, VERY slow, decreased sound quality...

Getting chan_sccp from Sergio to work is really easy. The distro
contains a well documented sample config and - as I wrote before - there
are lots of info in the chan-sccp-users mailing list archive.

I myself started with a SIPped 7960 but meanwhile, I run 3 7960s and 1
7905 without any problems.

Regards,
Stefan
