We use Nominum's DCS product ($) on Solaris to serve DHCP to our voip
devices as well as many other LANs on campus. Previously we used ISC
dhcpd (free) and it worked fine, also.

For TFTP services we just set up a CallManager server and turn on the
TFTP service only. Wouldn't you need to use the cisco TFTP server in
order to get the dynamically-generated phone configs by TFTP?
