Thanks Mark and others who have replied. I have a few 7960s but running into issues with SIP loads against CME 7.01 so exploring all options.
While we are at, Can xlite phones support "Globalization"?. I will go try to get some 7965 or 7961 or 7941 to get the ipexpert lab layout completed. Thanks.

Multiple CIPC only with VMWare. If you are studying for the Voice IE - CIPC or IPBlue won't really cut it. You need some hardware phones. You can route them through your laptop for VPN software if you can't afford phones and a router/switch for VPN - but you still need hardware phones. Many things exist that the new Gen2 hardware phones can do that the softclients cannot do - but I will point out but one crucial lacking in the softphones: Namely the ability to configure and test something called Globalization and Localization. (Ok - Localization works, but Globalization and "Mapping the Globalized Number to a Localized Call Variant" both cannot be tested). You need to be able to test this, among other things.

Trying to see what gaps exists between ipblue vs real cisco hw phones in terms of feature set. Or Is it possible to get multiple CIPC loaded on a single laptop ? Appreciate any thoughts.
