I believe your anger is misplaced. I was able to get to a direct download of Polycom firmware, from their homepage, within 4 clicks, with no login whatsoever required. http://www.polycom.com/usa/en/support/voice/soundpoint_ip/soundpoint_ip501.html While Polycom at one time may have had a policy of only providing firmware to distributors and resellers, that is no longer the case. Their firmware is freely available now to all comers. -- Tilghman _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
