[cisco-voip] 4.2 to 8 upgrade

[David Zhars]

For all the blasting 4.x takes (and some of it is valid), it sure was a
stable little beast!  Didn't do too many bells and whistles, but what it did
it did pretty flawlessly.  YMMV of course....

Upgrading from 4.2 to 8.0 in two weeks.  Have the fingers crossed, looking
for a local witch doctor to bless the server room....
