Keep us posted, please.

Really our karmic outrage should be vented equally at Cisco and at 
Vonage, which is the progenitor of the password locking scheme.

Vonage will get extra eons in Hades for their misleading advertising, 
which until recently gave their customers the illusion that they were 
being given the ATA186 as part of their purchasing the service.

IMO anyone who purposely designs a scheme to render perfectly good 
hardware useless deserves to see their user base transfer en masse to 
NuFone. . .
