Mike, thanks. This isn't on a production box, so no problem dropping connections. At least this gives me an option so I don't have to type or cut and paste the whole thing in.

cheers

I'm in a similar position. I've figured out something, but I'd like a
better answer ...

Assuming you've configured a TFTP server (tftp-server inside 10.0.0.1
conf-file),

conf t
conf net :

Will merge the TFTPed configuration with the existing configuration. Not
what you want, but if you have :-

clear configure all

at the top of the TFTPed configuration file, it will work. It does drop
all connections when it's done so isn't ideal. If anyone has a better
method of doing it, I'd *love* to hear about it.
