asterisk users - Nov 2003 - Making a Skinny phone talk to Asterisk

I have a few 7960 Skinny phones.  I've edited the skinny.conf file, but
I'm
a little unsure as to how get the phone to figure out which ip address it
should register with when it boots.

How do I do that?

I already have a tftp server for my SIP based phones.  Do I need a tftp
server for skinny configs at all?  And if so, can it be the same tftp server
as the SIP ones use (I'm not sure about this as the OS79XX.TXT makes newly
arriving phones load the SIP image).

Last I checked skinny firmware would try to connect to a host that would
resolve to CiscoCM1

Actually that is just a last-resort. Before that it will try and find the 
callmanager by looking for some special DHCP flag, and if that is not 
around it will try the setting for next-server (which is a DHCP option 
also). Some phones even try the DHCPserver itself if the above fails.
