Has cisco ever indicated when they might EOS the 7960's? My concern with the 7960s is future compatilibity with newer basic features.. if I deploy 200 more sets next month and use 7960's, will I be replacing 3/4 of them in 2 years anyway with 7961's? Seems like they were barely able to squeeze BLF's onto them for CCM5.
<br><br>I can imagine Lelio's head popping if they decided to let you forward non-primary lines from the phone but only on the 7961 and up ;)<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/12/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

The latest IP Phone Services SDK doesn't seem to mention the 7961/7941,<br>but talks about the 7940/7960, 7905/12, and 7970.<br><br>Is the 7961/41 more similar to the 7970 - due to its operating<br>system/firmware - than the 7960, at least in the area of IP phone services?
<br><br>There seem to be many inconsistencies (thanks Lelio for pointing some<br>out) between the 7960 and 7961, making it difficult to write phone<br>services that work the same for both models. Need more documentation!
<br><br>Bill<br><br>PS: for anyone thinking of going to 7961 for its bells and whistles,<br>instead of purchasing 7960 (still available!) - don't rush into it. In<br>our experience the 7960 is rock solid and outperforms the 7961. It's
<br>"faster" (boot time, response time, dialing time) and practically bug free.<br>_______________________________________________<br>cisco-voip mailing list<br><a href="mailto:cisco-voip@puck.nether.net">cisco-voip@puck.nether.net
