[cisco-voip] 8.0 or 8.5

[David Zhars]

As to the original question, I have heard good things about 8.5.  I am a
recent 8.0 upgrade myself (from the abandoned no man's land of 4.1), and
haven't run into any bugs yet that are showstoppers.  (one bug through RTMT
keeps telling me that a cisco service tried to write to a file and was
denied.  In trolling the bug toolkit, it seems that the service DOES write
to the file just fine, but for some reason, the error is raised).
