The bf0app flashing system requires three things that you must be aware of, that are different from a typical setup:
1) Your PPP system MUST accept auth, a noauth setup will not work for the 2nd dialing phase
2) You must have a clean dialup. DreamPi voltage-hacked lines, and unstable VoIP systems are known
to cause errors, leaving the box in a 'braindead' state with no flash. MiniSrv can help recover
from this but you will need to provide a stable dialup connection. This was tested with my Cisco 3825 setup.
3) bf0app systems flash right away, as soon as a part is received and validated.
This means if your bf0app box fails mid-flash, you could design a custom page to send the flashrom
from where it left off (for example, if your box failed on part 3 of 16, you could start again at
part 3 (with a specially set up page, minisrv won't do this by default)
