i bought mine 3-4weeks ago and had no issue :)
Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I see from voip-info.org that luck patching the PAP2 varies with what
firmware release is on the box. Isn't this a bit of a shot-in-the-dark in
terms of a generic VOIP adapter? The jumper seems to have
disappeared also.

if your into sip and all codec flavours i have the hack for the
linksys-pap2 you
get at futureshop/staples :)
