[cisco-voip] CME vs SRST

don't forget the limitations in endpoints of CME vs SRST. SRST can scale 
quite well.

also, I haven't read much about it b/c of the scaling issue, but it sounded 
like you needed a bit more configuration as well. the data sheet said 
something about 'one time configuration' as a benefit for SRST.
