Larry, Rev C cannot do tftp booting, only rarping for an ip address. There
is NO WAY To set the ip address. Livingston can help get you rarped on
Tuesday. But I would recommend if you have another IRX with a later rev
rom in it, take it out and put it in the bad unit and tftp boot it.
DOnt tell anyone ;-), but I made copies of ALL the Livingston ROMS, for
internal diagnostic use only, of course. It comes in handy when I get a pm
2 with a bad com os and a rev B rom!
