The older Cisco 7905s can use H.323 (I think the ones before revision "G"), but the 7960s would be tough to get on the current version of Avaya comm manager.

7960s support SIP, SCCP, and MGCP, but not H.323.

You could hang the 7960s off of an Asterisk server, and connect Asterisk to your Avaya system via a SIP trunk (but you'll need to check your sys cust page, "Maximum Administered SIP Trunks: " and make sure it is set to >0)...

I imagine that's more hassle than you're looking for.
