in /etc/dnsmasq.conf (both on raspbx-04-04-2018 and raspbx-03-12-2017)
Not sure this is default value, but do we need them? Why do i need tftp enabled?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Tftp is enabled by default for the FreePBX endpoint manager module, which uploads firmware and config files to /tftpboot for phones to download them through tftp. If you are not going to use the endpoint manager then you can safely disable tftp in dnsmasq.conf.

Thank you for the information.
It seems Endpoint Manager module is a commercial module, and I would not likely to use it. I don't own a Sangoma phones either.
Beside endpoint manager module, Do I need dnsmasq at all?

Dnsmasq is also a DNS cache for Asterisk. Whenever the outside connection drops Asterisk runs into problems because it can no longer resolve DNS queries. This is where Dnsmasq jumps in. But if this is no concern for you, you can just deinstall the whole package.

(installed raspbx-03-12-2017)
I am having strange logs lately,
dnsmasq-tftp[485]: file /tftpboot/x not found
in /var/logs/syslog
thousands and thousands of them. Cause unknown, maybe I am attacked, not sure.
Do I need dnsmasq to run raspbx anyway?
(I have already removed dnsmasq and it's running fine. Any expected side effect?)
