I want to buy a 7940 to use with Asterisk. Does all the features (i.e. Transfer, Hold, call waiting, MWI, etc)work? How difficult it is to configure 7940? Thanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo! Messenger. http://messenger.yahoo.com/

MWI: yes> How difficult it is to configure 7940?It's not all that bad, if you follow the examples online. The hard part is getting the right SIP firmware onto it. That took me around 90 minutes. The process is rather convoluted. You can't just upgrade straight to a modern SIP image--you have to upgrade via a specific sequence of older versions. As I recall, v2.0.2 is critical. I'd say "typical Cisco," but it's actually a bit worse then I'd usually expect from them. The configuration file, on the other hand, it's too bad, and there are tons of examples online. Scott

It takes about 5mins to configure if you know what you're doing. Maybe an hour if you're learning as you go. Everything works fine as far as phone features. John
