DPMA is proprietary and toxic, so you are quite right not to use it. If you add a line like options tftp-server-name "10.0.0.145" to your DHCP server's /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf , then this will give you the "option 66" you need. And note that even although it's advertised as a TFTP server, the Digium phones actually put out a HTTP request aot a TFTP request (that took some head-scratching to figure out). So you will need to have Apache running on 10.0.0.145; and a bunch of configuration files named like 000fd3000000.cfg where the digits of the filename are the MAC address of the phone, in the web server's default document root (/var/www/ on Debian systems). -- AJS Answers come *after* questions. -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
