One caveat: when last I looked, the form encourages you to type in your passwords. The form is insecure: that's to say, if you type in your _real_ passwords, everything a hacker would need in order to use your account will be sent, plain-text, over the 'net. For safety's sake, use dummy passwords, then correct those settings when the config SMSs have arrived at your Communicator.
