if your firmware is 4.x, split is all you need. As for provisioning via mac, it can be done I think, but would require sixconfig work, logic work, etc. Since there is another big firmware creeping up it would be nice to get that underneath and working. Version 3.3.x has new features and older phones have to be further grandfathered as far as legacy firmware.
Realistically as an admin you have to ask yourself "how many ancient phones am I willing to support though...". On 1/25/11, Michael Scheidell <[email protected]> wrote: > On 1/24/11 5:13 PM, Josh M.
