[Asterisk-Users] Any suggestions for an IP phone?

[andres]

yes, a regular ftp server will do it fine,
I have another issue with a Poly300 but not ftp,
bear in mind that when you set up the Polycom user, -PlcmIp (or 
something like that)
you have to use the --force-badname option to allow your server a 
username with capital letters,
since that is case sensitive,
