Thanks a lot. It indeed helped to see where I'm standing.
I talked to Bezeq wow support and it turns that if my modem is still under worranty they will replace it for me at BezeqStore with a Samsong at no cost. It's a bit of a shame to get rid of this modem because it is supposed to be upgradable to PRO and act as a router and dialer (on the other hand, people here posted links to sites which show that it's a security hazard). So if someone wants to buy it for 400NIS (the price I'll have to pay for the Samsong modem if I don't give back the Alcatel) please send me a note, just be quick because meanwhile me and my partner are off the net, VE-ZE KO-EV :-).
