Thanks for your answer.

Wow, sounds like you got it all sorted! I know I said I wasn't really
interested in features, but which were the ones you managed to keep
working on with the SIP devices with regards to the Mitel's functions?

A couple I could imagine to be useful are ringback and conferencing.

Do you recall how much a SIP trunk license was?
