	I didn't have that file because I thought it would make things worse.
:)  I took the number from Settings -> Model Information -> App Load ID
and put it in the OS79XX.TXT file.  This doesn't seem to satisfy the
phone.  It still tries to pick up that .bin file.  Now at least it's
trying for the .bin file I specified.  
	If I have the SEP*.cnf.xml file available, the phone just says "Opening
192.168.5.254" then "Opening 192.168.5.132" over and over again.  The
.132 is the right address for Asterisk.  If I *remove* the SEP file,
then the phone lets me dial, but doesn't let me get very far because it
complains it can't see the .bin file.
	Thank you for your patience so far.  I hope this process is helping
others out there with cisco phones.
