Hi again, sorry to be here again ! OK, now that I know that 3Com phones and FreeSwitch don't mix, my next question is about Cisco ! I see that the FreeSwitch Interoperability list includes Cisco phones such as the 7940 and 7960. I believe that these phones need user licenses to work with Cisco Call Manager. What I'd like to confirm is that I would not need any Cisco licenses or anything else to get a Cisco IP phone working with FreeSwitch. Again, I'd really appreciate feedback from anyone using either of these (or other) Cisco phones with FreeSwitch on whether any additional licenses or software are required to work with an "out of the box" FreeSwitch installation ? regards Dave

Any of the Cisco phones with a SIP image should work fine ... no license
required.

Cisco 7960 and the like that they push on the enterprise level for
call manager also can be flashed with sip based firmware. I've only
used the 7960 with the sip firmware.


SPA942 and the like that used to be under Linksys/Sipura before that
are targeted more toward smaller businesses and run SIP out of the box
without any license complications.

These phones work with FS, come by irc and you can talk to sekil about
his use of them.

In general, if you haven't invested in a bunch of phones, I'd recommend:

Polycom 330,450,550 -- pick your price point
snom - again, pick your price point

These are generally well supported over the rest.

Thanks a lot - to both William and Shelby,

that makes me more confident about trying out at least one Cisco and Rupa
has just given me a few more options, so, hopefully, I won't make the 3Com
mistake again !

Rupa,

thanks a lot for the pointers - I'm just about to try to pick up some
phones, so the tips are timely.

Actually, I have been trying the IRC thing today, but keep getting
"connection refused", it's been a few years since I used IRC, but I think I
have a Firewall problem that I'm working on.

Hopefully, I'll be there soon,

regards
Dave

FYI, you can't do "presence" with the Cisco phones, so you can't see if
someone is on the phone.
