Perhaps you could trigger the creation of the config, xml etc. on the first TFTP request - on the retry the files would then be ready to go. > Of course you can use ISC dhcpd for tailoring answers to your needs > (dynamic setting of config file etc), but IMO this will only work well > if the phones support http config download, The SPA-9x1 does support http download, but I don't see how you could change the initial TFTP request to HTTP without manually configuring the phone. Even then I'm not sure it would work - I certainly haven't managed to make any of my SPAs do an auto-config over HTTP. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - your spam is our business. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
