Hi Folks,

Thank you much for your responses.

If this has been added to 0.4.x, it is not evident.  I just set the 
INTIF even though I only had one NIC.  Maybe that's my problem.  A quick 
search of the list didn't turn up any info on dnsmasq running when in 
pbx-only mode...

I set it to an NTP server on my LAN.  The PBX gets the proper time, even 
  with only one NIC.

I tried this (not actually knowing what ntpbroadcast is).  No effect.

I found Polycoms sync time quickly, whereas my Snoms take a while...

The Polycoms seem to get all other DHCP settings properly.

Running "ntpdate <ip of pbx>" from my Linux workstation reports "no 
server suitable for synchronization found", though it works on a 
different NTP server.

There are two "ntpd -s" processes running on the pbx.

I'm gonna put another NIC in that box and test again.  Or I might figure 
out how to enable dnsmasq with only one NIC.

Thanks again,

G
