Which phones to buy for the home lab
As I am doing the research to build my home lab, one of the first issues I had to confront was the ip phones. With version 3, it looks the 7960s are not going to cut it. Even the 7961s are outdated. As can be seen from the equipment list, the actual lab will have 7965s. Some of the things the earlier generation phones don’t support are BLF, + dialing, many SIP features, g722 and ILBC codecs. Although I hear that the 7962s can work just as well, I decided to order some 7965s.
