sip questions

[greg24]

I know that the 3Com v5000 I have can have SIP enabled so the I can connect SIP phones to it.  Can the NBX handle an incoming and outgoing SIP line?  I believe they would deliver SIP over a T1 line that would be installed.  Basically I have a very expensive ISDN Pri that I want to get rid off and the companies I have contacted told me that while they can provide an ISDN Pri a SIP solution would be much cheaper.  So can I dump my ISDN Pri and go SIP?  Will have I have to enable SIP on the NBX?

I realize that I will have to give each phone a static IP and I will lose all voicemail and prompts if I convert the NBX to SIP.  Is there anything else I should be aware of?  I hope I don't have to enable SIP internally to get SIP externally, but if I do the cost savings might be worth it.  The NBX has 256 MB of RAM, memory upgrade installed (402,649,088 byte), 92 phones, 12 fax machines, and is running 6.5.22 P3.

Unfortunately SIP soft trunks are not supported . Only TDM type circuits like T1 or PRI .

OK, so I am stuck with an ISDN Pri until I replace the nbx.  :(

Thank you for the quick reply.
