[asterisk-biz] TFTP Boot Server

[Bill Michaelson]

What about the ancillary configuration options - which can number in the 
hundreds - some of which are required for real functionality in most 
circumstances (server address comes to mind as important; phone display 
label would be nice)?  There seems little point in doing this unless you 
can generate configurations with all that stuff.  And wouldn't you want 
the configuration data to be shared/exported/transmogrified 
appropriately for the complementary network/PBX that the phones would be 
attached to/used with?

The concept is simple, but the implementation is not, and could go on 
forever.  So how does the service you are seeking fit into your plans?  
Are you looking for some model code to serve as a basis for your future 
development?
