I think the phones come set with DHCP enabled, the only configuring you 
would have to do is setting up DHCP on your server, and that only 
happens once at the beginning. The way I am doing the provisioning 
probably isn't any quicker than sitting with the phone and setting it up 
manually. The difference comes in when you need to make changes to a 
number of phones, in which case the config files would be much faster. 
All depends on how many phones you're going to be setting up.
