[VoIP] Cisco 7960

[Shane Young]

Cisco *supports* SIP, but only with their call controllers.

There are two sets of SIP firmware for Cisco phones.  One for their  
call controllers and one for everyone elses.  They are no-longer  
developing the one for everyone elses.

Their posiition is: If you want to use a non-Cisco call controller,  
buy Linksys phones.
