[cisco-voip] 3rd-gen and newer IP phones 5-10 seconds slow

[Wes Sisk]

We have had at least one report of this before.  That issue appears 
associated to CSCsd54013.  I don't necessarily agree with that. 

My recollection (questionable?) of this issue is that when 3rd gen phone 
are provided NTP server they ignore time from CM.  If the phones cannot 
sync from NTP source for any reason then they drift.

Are you attempting to provide NTP source to the phones via any means?
