You may want to ask on the cisco-voip list as it’s most centrally focused on that.
Do you mean with CM or CME (as suggested in your subject line?) We have generally been abandoning the Cisco devices as they haven’t released an ‘open’ phone in many years outside of what you mentioned, sipura/linksys. I’m similarly looking for a “good” handset of build quality like the 7940/7960 that doesn’t require CM, handles being behind NAT/nat traversal properly and can provision securely over a TCP transport. We have been provisioning PAP2T for people who need the single ports and been using the Cisco ISRs to do T1/E1 where we can’t talk SIP directly to someone. - Jared > On Feb 11, 2015, at 7:10 AM, Joel M Snyder <joel.sny...@opus1.com> wrote: > > Folks: > > Since a lot of NSPs are also in the VoIP business, I was wondering if anyone > has specific recommendations for low-density (2-8 ports) FXS/FXO hardware > that they are using with Cisco PBX devices.
