You will need to tftp the config to a TFTP server. You can trigger this
process via SNMP.

WRITE to sysConfigTftpHostAddr.0 = IP address of tftp server
WRITE to sysConfigTftpFilename.0 = the desired filename
	(Remember to create this file ahead of time with mode 666)
WRITE to sysConfigTftpCmd.0 = the integer value "1"

READ from sysConfigTftpStatus.0 to check on the status of the transfer
	17: in progress
	1: sucessful

All these variables are in ascend.mib (ASCEND-MIB) under
enterprises.ascend.systemStatusGroup.sysConfigTftp.

Note to the others replying on this thread:

It is in fact *NOT* possible to get into any of the special modes,
including Debug (ESC [ ESC =), MIF (ESC [ ESC !), or Xmodem
(ESC [ ESC -) unless you are using a security profile that permits
these things.

And normally if you use security profiles, you won't let the default
profile do these things.
