Fact:

Modem manual describes procedure to access modem internal settings
via www browser. This does not work and has been confirmed by
multiple users. Therefore not likely a few defective units, but
crippled on purpose or buggy firmware.

Unverified Rumour:

BS supplied Alcatel 1000 ABAA unit is OEM to BS, but not identical to
retail units. Custom circuitry inside makes modem non-portable. That
is, if you leave the BS network, and join another that supports
Alcatel 1000, your modem will not work. You get to buy it, or another
(not cheap either) again.

Shouldn't be a problem with anyone who considers the hardware "free"
with the $200 install, BUT may be perceived as being deceptive by
others.

Question:

Does alleged custom circuity provide only non-portability function,
or is it also required to be in place for use on BS. That is, will a
retail, non crippled Alcatel 1000 (or other competing product) work
with BS ADSL? If so, say so, and provide list of qualified units.

Thank you so very much, have a nice day.
