using skinny (sccp) so far... see below:

i tried downloading and using ccp but i didn't like it... like sdm it makes unnecessary changes to the configuration...

even telephony-service setup i don't like; i'd rather make my own decisions without being prompted

they mean it when they say the phones want to be in their own vlan... you can set up a tftp server on a pc or let the router do the work by uploading the phone system files into flash... the router can do the dhcp footwork.. in fact the voice router does just about everything...  i'm not thrilled that the phones are so externally dependant but i suppose that was cisco's way of designing it for enterprise use... i'd prefer to telnet into the damn phones and scrape configs into them... sip trunking is next... they're kind of a pain in the ass, truth be told...
