asterisk users - Mar 2008 - Cisco 79xx users/consultants, 7970G color in particular share information

I would like to get in contact with users/consultants who are or have 
worked with the Cisco phones and Asterisk to trade information.  

Cisco has reluctantly made SIP available on their phones and most of the 
information on voip-info and other wiki's appears to be reverse 
engineered.  There is a wealth of information out there which is 
terrific.  

I have a client with about 40 phones composed of 7970, 7960 and 7906 
phones.   I've upgraded all of these to SIP 8-3-3SR2S and the basic 
functions are working.

My current questions are:

   1. How to remotely reboot 7970s.   I have both web access and SSH
      access to the phones.  The instructions I have for SSH are to use
      (1) user/pass (or whatever is in the confg) and then (2)
      debug/debug.  Surprisingly  "reset" is not a valid command to
      restart the phone.  There doesn't appear to be a reset on the web
      page, maybe there's a hidden URL?
   2. BusyLampField? 

Thanks in advance.

Are the 7921G phones convertable to SIP too?

Not sure on #1, but #2 is not possible on SIP.

Busy Lamp Field IS available on SIP.

If it is not, I cannot imagine how my GXP-2000 does it.

We have about 200 79x1's running SIP w/ asterisk and we are very pleased 
despite some of the non-standard things Cisco does. 
In answer to question 1 the only way we have found to reboot the phone 
remotely is shutdown the port on the POE switch.  This will drop the 
PC's network as well if it is plugged into the phone. 
Question 2 I would like to know the answer to myself.  I would be 
curious to know if it works with the SIP image in call manager.
