Sorry, XMLDefault.cnf.xml is what I meant to say, of course...

Did you remove the XMLDefault.cnf.xml?

If so, there's still a load version conflict (although I've never seen a
7960 or 7940 care about the version communicated through SCCP):

On the phone, press "Settings", then 4 for load information.
watch out for the "App-Load-ID". On my 7940, this is "P00305000300". Yours
is most likely a smaller number...

If you have a CVS version of chan_sccp (either Jan's CVS or Theo's), just
add this exact string to your /etc/asterisk/sccp.conf in the device
definition for your phone, ie. something like:

[SEP00010203040506]
imgversion = P00305000300
type = 7940
context = default
autologin = yourline

If you still have the 0.2 release of chan_sccp, I'd recomment you to
upgrade, although you could change the value in sccp_helper.c, line 66 and
recompile.

If you have any further trouble, make sure you mention the App-Load-Id,
because it seems to be an unusual one ;-)
