[Asterisk-Users] Has anyone connected to 7960 withconsolecableforsetup?

Fri Dec 17 08:51:37 MST 2004

Something else to remember some of the
earlier versions would not recognize more
that 8 characters in the file  OS79XX.txt had
to be modified to P0M30300 and file had to be
moved to P0M30300.bin

Then at about POM3-06-00 you are force to
start with the signed firmware.
