NP has already said that only units ordered directly from them are subject to automatic account activation on the credit card that ordered it. Fair or not; legal or not; that is their policy. Units ordered through CC are not activated until plugged into the phone system and turned on. After all, they ship those whenever and they sit around at CC until they are bought (if they weren't 1000's of units backlogged ;-) There's no way to regulate that. The bad news is that NP is explictly shipping to direct customers in preference to CC customers. Mine is still on backorder through CC and likely will be for weeks. I'm number 10 out of 100 at my store alone. There are six stores within driving distance. They have received two units in two weeks. :-( The only good news is that units with a 21-Mar-2000 manufacture date appear to be unmodified. Who knows what the future may bring. For the $106 mine will cost (with tax), I'll take the risk that I have to remove epoxy or solder in a header. -ethan ===== Even though my old e-mail address is no longer going to vanish, please note my new public address: erd(a)iname.com The original webpage address is still going away.
