Andre,

Before you waste you time and money, consider this;

1. The ATA built into all of the Linksys voice products are simply
Sipura SPA2000's, no function difference, licensed from Sipura by
Cisco/Linksys. The router model just redirects 1 ethernet port to the
internal SPA 2000 and hard codes QoS to that port. That is why there is
only 3 Ethernet ports on the router instead of the customary Linksys 4.

2. If you really want the Linksys, you have to be an ITSP and go through
the correct authorization with Linksys to buy an unprovisioned version.

3. The vonage / ATT units are locked, and I have no knowledge of anyone
successfully unlocking them without the magic code.

4. Even if they could be unlocked, you are better off going legit, buy a
SPA 2000 and a WRT54G, plug the spa2000 into a port on the router, and
set the QoS priority on that port. Viola, you have the same
functionality, with a warranty and support!
