Yeah, I'm coming to the same conclusion.  The manual for the 3545 says 
that it supports SCCP, but there are a whole lot of "Doesn't support 
{foo}" when you use it.

So, back to trying to grok how video is going to fit in with everything, 
and why-oh-why doesn't CM act as a H.323 gatekeeper.

For those that are in the know, when doing a design where the primary 
path is IP, but you still want PRI "overflow" capability, then what's 
the best solution?  Ideally, I'd like the users to be able to dial from 
their IP phone, do the standard "hey, howya doin?" and then press a 
button and switch to video.  VT Advantage seems to have this "One 
button" capability, but VTA isn't appropriate for a room-based solution...
