Well, maybe.  The Grandstreams use an extended version, and at least 
right now, the hpa tftpd does NOT work with them.  I spent many hours 
playing around last night, and the GS phones for whatever reason will 
not download files that are served from that server.

I even installed the latest version of the server on the off-chance that 
was the problem.  In every case, the two ends "negotiate the tftp 
options" that the GS sends, and then the server sends the first block of 
data (even observing the GS's request to send in 1024-byte blocks) and 
then as soon as it does, the GS closes the connection immediately.

Perhaps there's some trick I don't know, but I don't have a vile Window$ 
box anywhere around to run the solarwinds product, and so far have come 
up dry via every other venue.  Most public TFTP servers won't serve 
files to me behind the NAT I use, and Grandstream's server, which I used 
in the "good old days" does not seem to be there anymore.

I'd love to be corrected on any of this, btw.  I fear I'm locked into 
using the old 1.0.3.81 f/w for the rest of my life. .

Thx.
