Great feeling when you figure it out on your own
I figured out the problem. And as usual, I'm the architect of my own demise :) I had redundant tftp-server statements for the term62.default.loads file. (along with others as well) One for SCCP and one for SIP. tftp-server flash:/SCCP.8-3-3s/term62.default.loads alias term62.default.loads tftp-server flash:/SIP.8-3-3/term62.default.loads alias term62.default.loads Apparently, if there are redundant tftp-server commands, the first one (in this case SCCP) takes precedence. As soon as I removed the first statement pointing towards the SCCP term62.default.loads, the phone took the SIP image. One more problem solved by endless hours of frustration ...
