[cisco-voip] ITL question - MD5 mismatch

[Ed Leatherman]

Wes,

Bingo, needed to specify binary option on my TFTP client... didn't
realize TFTP had a ascii vs binary mode. Thanks.

Still doesn't match what the show ITL/CLI is telling me. Chalk it up
as related to CSCtr75672?

One thing to note - the ITL file may be different for each TFTP server.  Which TFTP server did the phones use? Which TFTP server did you download your file from?  Does it make a difference if you use the binary option on your TFTP client?
