--> If this is an older Pipeline, b2.p75 is not the release for
it. You should be using b.p50 for older Pipelines. One question that I
do have: why can't you TFTP? AFAIK, *any* pipeline w/ software revision
4.5 or later can TFTP. Also, HyperTerminal hasn't ever given me trouble
uploading software (even at 57600). Just can't let the screen saver
kick in, or really do ANYTHING else :-)

--> If you've got full access to the p50, which I guess you do
since you're able to *try* and upgrade it, just drop to the debug
(diagnostics) prompt and type: "fclear" and then "nvram". That will
surely clear the configs...but 5.1A will still be there. Trying to
upgrade after doing this may help.
