Couple of comments here:

1) Terry has a PM2 not an OfficeRouter, so the image to use is *pm2_3.7*,
not or_3.7L.

2) Megazone has stated several times that making such a big jump in ComOS
versions is not a good idea. It's better to upgrade from 3.0.4 (is this a
typo for 3.1.4?) to 3.3.3 and *then* to the 3.5x series (3.3.3 -> 3.7
would probably work too).
