Cisco is usually lacking when it comes to updating this. I have not deployed any 9.X yet, but 8.6 has been solid.

HTH,

Hi Chris,

Thanks a lot for your comments.

be warned to face some ugly issues, when choosing a version randomly.

For example on 8.6:
- No shared line between SIP and SCCP Devices

- No epansion module on 8961

Both should work on 9.1

I recommend to gather all the needed function, then check release notes and Admin Guides to be sure everything you need is supported.
