[Asterisk-Users] WRT54GP2A-AT

[William M. Sandiford]

This is not allowed!

>From secion B.1.1 of the Linksys Agreement

.... Linksys hereby Authorizes and grants any Linksys Service Provider ..... To purchase and/or lincense Linksys products from an authorized source....to resell and/or redistribute or deploy such Linksys products and services solely to end users and only when offered in conjuction with Network Service offerings provided by the Service Provider directly to end users...

I skipped some of the other fluff.

Point being, you can only resell them to your end users for the sole purpose of that end user using your service.



-------------------------


I do not think that is correct, the Linksys authorization agreement for
that product requires that the authorized provider does not make the
product available in an unprovisioned state. Are you sure this applies
to the Linksys or are you referring to a situation where Vonage unlocked
a Cisco or Motorola ATA?
