asterisk users - Apr 2010 - Avaya 9640 Convert to SIP (slightly off topic)

Hi List,

Ive got a bunch of Avaya IP9640 that we want to convert to SIP and then hook
up to Asterisk so we can dump this overpriced Avaya system. Ive got ahold of
the SIP firmware, but I cannot find anything on how to convert the phone
itself to SIP, when I go into setup mode it wants a "command" which im
guessing is the program code like the rest of the Avaya systems works. Has
anyone been able to convert this to SIP and if so, any suggestions for me?

Any help would be great, Ive Googled and have found a bunch of dead ends.

Thanks!

its on the Avaya site, but basically,

you need to have the sip image and the 96xxsettings.txt and the
96xxUpgrade.txt on the route of a  web server, the sertup the phone to read
its files from the web server, normally this is by pressing <hold> then
a-d-d-r then # set the ipaddress, callsvr and subnet and set the filesvr to
the web server addrewsss # through to the end and let it reboot it *should*
update to the firmware on the server
