If you can get rid of them, get rid of them. Nortel is a SIP house itself now and will not be producing more unistim based products. If you have to use these phones, people have claimed success with chan_unistim and this particular model. I've never worked with chan_unistim so can't tell you from personal experience. I did supervise a project which involved Nortel integration a while ago and our engineers used a software that Nortel provided which you ran on a windows workstation. This software acted as a SIP gateway for the phones. I don't remember it's name. ---- Shidan Gouran
