[Asterisk-Users] Vonage and * (and what about those ATAs?)

[Jay Milk]

Unless I'm too dense to find this -- You're pointing me to the articles
that talk about the FACTRESET command, and that has been disabled by
Vonage a few months ago.  The only known way to get into the box w/o
Vonage's help is to intercept the configuration data sent to the box
from Vonage, decrypt it using a brute-force attack against their RC4
cypher, and then reading off the password.  That still requires the
Cisco config tools which aren't available without a service contract.

..try http://groups.google.com

As the authors will prbably say ...it's at your own risk. Also note this
is not an unlock and carry on using Vonage situation, it's a reset the
ATA back to factory (pre Vonage) deal.
