is a Cisco IP phone compatable with a BCM 50 IP station port?

OK. Thanks. So much for the great IP interoperability. Why bother with premises IP then anyway?

Appreciate the answer.

Someday it'll be that way, when everything is standardized and vendors adhere to the standards. It doesn't make much sense for Cisco or Nortel (or 3 Com, or anyone for that matter) to allow other vendors phones to connect to their systems. There's money to be made in the parts/instruments. Just like a Ford starter won't bolt to a Chevy engine.

On the BCM 200/400, you can register a "dumb" H.323 compatible terminal to the system. I'm not sure if that is possible with SIP phones on release 4.0 or not, but the day will come when it can happen.
