[VoiceOps] Older Cisco SIP firmware download

[Mark R Lindsey]

The lack of support for modern features -- Line State Monitoring, Feature Key Synchronization, Shared Lines / Shared Call Appearance, N-Way conferencing -- have convinced me that the best thing to do with a Cisco 79x0 phone is to Ebay them to someone using Call Manager. 

Then buy a modern SIP phone.
