[asterisk-users] Cisco 7940 phone and tftpd provisioning - for ever?

[Sebastian Arcus]

Hi James,

Thanks for the reply. I'm not concerned about performance. But I've 
learned that every extra daemon software on a server comes with its 
security caveats. I would feel much better about not having another one 
to worry about and keep an eye on.
