Are you aware that SunRocket's Gizmo (the InnoMedia SIP MTA 6328-R) leaves 
WAN ports 80 and 23 open for all the world to access? As if that's not bad 
enough its setup doesn't let you turn off this type of WAN access with the 
firmware that ships with the Gizmo. And as if that is not bad enough 
SunRocket does not tell you any of this! This is just outrageous.  If you're 
going to do business with this company put their Gizmo behind a router.  At 
least change the gizmo's password.  As for me, I'm shipping their gizmo back 
tomorrow and going to get my money back.

Sounds more like they're technically clueless, rather than
"immoral".

Understand the security concern and agree the unit should be behind a 
router.  Putting it behind a router also saves bandwidth (don't know why but 
try it  run speed test before & after)

If port 80 is open, that would seem to indicate there might be a way for us 
to 'user configure' it.  I'd love to reconfig Ethernet port to fixed 10mb 
rather then 'autosense'

Have you called their support?  Web access is an option which they can turn
off.
