Cisco 7960/7940 Files help needed

[steveau]

hi, I am new to all this PBX stuff. I need some help in getting some SIP files for my Cisco phones, i believe that the ones I need are 3-8-12-00, my 7960 phones current ver is 8.1(SR.2), and my 7940 phone ver is8.1(SR.2).
If anyone has the required files can you please email them to me? or at least tell me where I can download them from?
I have tried to download them for Cisco but they are no longer available, and you have to have a cisco account to download.
Thanks

Interesting new success with Chan-SCCP-B and SCCP-Manager (both from GitHub)

As many of you know, I’ve proudly been running my home on PIAF Gold for something like 12 years. I ran it on the 32-bit Asterisk 1.8 because, at the time, Chan-SCCP-B needed a 32-bit kernel and my Cisco 7910 phones were not SIP-able. I also had a couple other SCCP-only phones that I wanted to use and play with, so I went with it. After more than a half decade, I added TimeTrex to the server (for a library management package I was working on). A few months ago, I upgraded TimeTrex to the new ve…
