New Sober variant an efficient worm, but infections already dying down

The latest Sober variant is spreading around the world and has infected millions of computers. The new worm disguises itself as an official email from the FBI, CIA or Bundeskriminalamt (Germany's federal police) and asks people to open an attachment - apparently convincing enough for many users to do so. The attachment scans for email addresses and sends copies to other computers. In addition, the worm disables Microsoft's anti-malware tool. Read more

I've managed to get hold of a Cisco CP-7920 handset - now what I need to now
is I can I make/receive calls via my router/wifi AP - if so what
software/hardware do I need? Is the software difficult to configure? Any
help would be greatly appreciated

I'm not familiar with the hardware, but...........

It appears to use a proprietary protocol ( Compatible with Cisco Survivable
Remote Site Telephony (SRST) Version 2.0 and later. ) and may require a
Cisco AP. (Access point support: Cisco Aironet series access points
including the 1200, 1100, 350 and 340 series)

Information on the 7920 is at:
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-inde [...] sco%207920

Note that it runs SCCP (a "Skinny" proprietary version of H.323
developed by Selsius - who was bought by Cisco a few years ago).
Cisco and Asterisk (maybe others?) support this protocol for
registering phones.

The quickest way to get the phone running is to follow the SCCP link
on the above web page. Essentially, you need to install Asterisk on a
machine in your network and register the phone to it. At that point
you will have dialtone, and can trans-code out to IAX, SIP, H.323 or
even POTS. :-)
