Well we jumped from 4.x to 8.0.

Can't advise you on hardware, we swapped out the CM and Unity hardware as part of the whole deal.<br>The tech note Wes provided is excellent.<br><br>Good luck!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 1, 2011 at 2:09 AM, Saboor Khan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:saboor.khan@gmail.com">saboor.khan@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

good advice, as which version of 8 is stable and also support our
old phones like 7940,60, and 7912. also what is the precaution i
have to follow, as we are running 7845 MCS server, also do we need
