And you may need to set firmware_interval (that might be a 360 only 
option), which is scaled in (minutes? seconds? Seconds with a minimum of 
60?  Whatever it is, it's _incredibly_ sticky.).  I guess for me the 
next question is whether there is a more user-friendly way of forcing 
the updates?  I've got the chain set up, it rebooted and found the new 
firmware nicely enough, but the only change it did was indicate on the 
phone that there was a new firmware available on the status line - it 
didn't actually load the new firmware until the EU asked for it.  No 
biggie in my SOHO (3 whole phones!), but in a huge rollout I could see 
that being really annoying.
