Cisco will support the 7942G for another five years (sales ended in 2016) so this is actually a great choice. After setting up TFTP in Linux and upgrading to the latest SIP software, this phone works really great with Asterisk. Being in Malta calling many numbers in Sweden, the two Line-buttons are an excellent feature. When i press button 1 the outgoing number (caller ID) will be a Swedish number and the phone works just like a local phone in Stockholm. When pressing button 2, the phone works just like a Maltese phone (112 connects to Malta 112 etc) and a Maltese local number is shown on the recipients display. Another great feature is the Directory function. With an XML corporate directory hosted on my Apache server, I can look up any business contacts directly from the phone within seconds. This phone is a long time favorite with the features you need, nothing more, nothing less.
