I found the problem.  During one reboot, the phone very briefly
displayed:  "File P0M3-03-.bin not found".  Apparently some early
phone images have issues with filenames greater than eight characters
before the .bin extension.  Renamed the MGCP image to P0M30300.bin,
edited OS79XX.TXT to reflect the same, rebooted and bingo!
