[asterisk-users] Automatic provisioning of Sipura handsets (was: A linksys SPA921 behind NAT and firewall)

[Paul Hales]

We have written stuff previously for most major phones that does
auto-deployment....server sits there waiting for phone to ask for
configs, when the phones hit the server, the configs are written on the
fly.

Bit fiddly to write, but once it's going it's pretty good.
