Hrmmm... I'm not sure how much more help I can be on this exactly.  For all
of my users, we use FTP and the files get created and updated automatically.
I should note that this is with all IP600s/601s but this should be the same
even for the 501s.

I tried changing the name to the MAC address format, but still no luck.  No
contacts appear after re-boot and I still can't add them manually either.

No particular reason for using TFTP over FTP.  I'm a hack so I just followed
the instructions at:

Thanks,
Hugh
