[Asterisk-Users] New C7960 won't tftp?

Just received a new Cisco 7960 (not refurb, but brand new) and it won't
tftp the initial config file (OS79XX.TXT) from an FC3 box. The 7960 does
get an appropriate dhcp response including the tftp address.

Using a sniffer, I see the tftp request being sent from the 7960 to the
FC3 box, but the FC3 box responds with error code 4 (Illegal TFTP opertion)
and an error message of "Request not null-terminated".

The tftp request (as observed with the sniffer) does indicate the initial
request is null terminated without a shadow of a doubt. I even rebooted
the FC3 (hated to do that since its uptime was very good) with exactly
the same response.

Checked the permissions, etc, and they all look fine. Other Cisco 7960's
have been booting just fine using this same FC3 tftp server.

Anyone have any thoughts on possible things to look at?
