No, I want the 7960 to work. That's all. I did find some examples of a config here but I don't understand how to communicate with the phone to set up the config?

I take it you have the correct firmware for one.
If so, you can configure that phone from the keypad. look at option 9, default pass is cisco

good luck

Thanks. Yes I have SIP software loaded. The password "cisco" no longer worked so I set the phone back to factory defaults. In case someone needs to do the same here are the directions. The 7960/61 and 7940/41 are the same phones. If I remember correctly the 79x0's were English only.

Reset the 7941 and 7961 IP Phones to the Factory Default
Complete these steps:

1. Unplug the power cable from the phone, and then plug in the cable again.
The phone begins its power up cycle.
2. Immediately press and hold # and while the Headset, Mute, and Speaker buttons begin to flash in sequence, release #.
The line buttons flash in sequence in order to indicate that the phone waits for you to enter the key sequence for the reset.
3. Press 123456789*0# within 60 seconds after the Headset, Mute, and Speaker buttons begin to flash.
If you repeat a key within the sequence, for example, if you press 1223456789*0#, the sequence is still accepted and the phone resets.
If you do not complete this key sequence or do not press any keys, after 60 seconds the Headset, Mute, and Speaker buttons no longer flash, and the phone continues with its normal startup process. The phone does not reset.
If you enter an invalid key sequence, the buttons no longer flash, and the phone continues with its normal startup process. The phone does not reset.
If you enter this key sequence correctly, the phone displays this prompt:
