[cisco-voip] Cisco Business Edition 3000 and 7911

[Nikolay Shopik]

Hi Tim,

We currently use SIP version with 7911, so don't run anything advanced 
as we know sip is limited.
Well main reason is we running out of max supported phones soon 
(probably) and our CME is run on 2800 series, so no support for new 
phones and 7911 already EOS. And replacing 2800 for 2900 seems not worth 
and I just though maybe get proper upgrade ;)

But its now make more sense not look into BE3000 before new software 
release.
