The last time I looked, Qwest supported six different models and three different makes. If you tell us that your non-profit sells "these," without giving us make/model information, then I'm afraid it won't do us much good if someone should need one. [wrings hands] Sorry to sound so cranky-poos, but providers change their equipment all the time and there's a lot of used gear floating around out there. Without knowing the make and model of what you're looking at (and doing your homework on it), it's all too easy to end up merely exchanging one set of problems for another. > We get them in as donations, get told they don't work, run the > firmware updater and then they work.

Somehow, I always thought that my own local telco, SBC, was run by the Three Stooges. Compared to Qwest, though, the people at SBC look like Nobel Laureates. Wow. [shakes head in amazement] At any rate, that's why I suggested the OP go to the Qwest forum at BBR. If anyone can get/keep people on line, they can.
