asterisk users - Jul 2006 - Cisco SIP Firmware

What is the current recommended version of firmware for SIP on 
7960/7940's.  I was reading through some of the stuff on voip-info and 
it looks like the 8.x's have pretty serious bugs in regards ti *.  Thanks.

We stick with the 7.4 firmware.  It does exactly what we need, doesn't
decide it doesn't want to forget about registration if the server falls
out from under it, and doesn't have the server name in the caller id.

Stay with the v7.x version until the newer stuff becomes more widely 
implemented.

Internal Cisco folks have indicated the v8.x code has many new items in 
it, some of which make the sip image closer to the skinny images in 
terms of functionality. More changes are in the works. However, there 
probably hasn't been much testing with non-Cisco gear to prove 
compatibility or sip standards, so sticking with v7.x code will provide 
a better level of service. (I happen to be running v7.1 on my 7960's, FWIW.)

The 8.2 firmware works just fine (asterisk 1.2.6). I have had exactly
zero problems with it, nothing even weird about it. Pretty trouble-free
IMO.

I believe the phone that doesn't work quite right with the 8.2 SIP image
is the 7970. I have probably 20 7940s/7960s, all running the 8.2 SIP
image without problem. The server name in the caller ID is a little
annoying, but it is really just cosmetic (redial works just fine with
some dialplan stuff you have to do anyway.)

Where may I find the 7.4 firmware for 7940? I was only able to find the
8.2
at cisco's website.
