Cisco IP phone configurations

I have amassed a small army of SIP phones, many of them Cisco branded.


   - Cisco SIP Phone 3911
   - Cisco IP Phone 7940
   - Cisco IP Phone 7960
   - Cisco IP Phone 7961
   - Cisco IP Phone 7970


I have figured out the 7940 & 7960 phones just by reverse engineering the
couple config files I have been able to find online.

I am, unfortunately, having big problems with the 3911, 7961, and 7970
phones

My primary goal with these devices is to get them set up to a Asterisk box
and/or hosted SIP provider. I have a ton of different uses for vanilla SIP
phones.


   - 3911
      - Looks like these only work with Cisco Callcenter SIP system? I
      can't figure out any way to provide it basic SIP server info.
      - Too bad, this thing is a tough little phone
   - CP-7961G
      - Looks nearly identical to the 7960 phone with the exception of the
      line buttons that are now LED driven.
      - Config system seems to be completely different. I feel like a fish
      out of water and I suspect I need to throw away everything I
knew about the
      7960 phones
   - CP-7970G
      - This huge full color display has me intrigued, but the only thing I
      have done with one of the two I have is to break it so it won't boot all
      the way.
      - Looks like it uses a similar config system to the 7961, which must
      be Cisco's new config system.


Everything I have read online says that the Cisco CallCenter config utility
will generate the config files I need, but that is not a program I have.

Any thoughts or functional config files I can steal and edit myself?
