The problem is I don't seem to have a reference to the format of that 
file or what options I can put in it.  Some docs I've looked at 
reference the distribution.zip file as having some default templates.  
However the Polycom cd that came w/ the phone has not such zip file..  
:(  I'll need that zip file, any ideas on where to get it.

Also upon looking things over I setup a ftp server BUT the RH9 box I was 
running would NOT add user named 'PlcmSpIp' in.  Upper case letters just 
wouldn't work.  So I put in the user 'plcmspip' and then manually put in 
the upper case letters in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow...

In the future I 'should' be able to change that to something other then 
the default values.  I've search over the menus(pressing menu, settings, 
authentication) gave the a 'reg user' and password.  I changed that to

user: 110
password: test

but the 0004f200b70e-boot.log still says its using u=PlcmSpIp 
pw=PlcmSpIp to log in.  Ideas on how to fix that?

Sorry - the Cisco phones had cruddy docs to.  While the polycom phone 
itself looks better, better display, more buttons, better menus - the 
docs are still lacking..
