I believe that someone is having you on.

The only way to "unlock" a PAP2 is to connect it to a network where you
control the DNS service, and trick the adapter into downloading a hacked
version of the configuration file, and then upgrading the firmware so it
doesn't keep trying to "phone home" for the locked-in configuration when
you place it on the live network.

No, I do NOT know how to do this, so please don't ask. If you want an
unlocked PAP2, buy a Sipura 2000. It is functionally identical to the
Linksys and isn't locked into Vonage, or whoever.

We assume you mena the unlocked PAP2-NA model...

Nope. Not from a reputable retailer, anyway. Under the Linksys terms,
the PAP2-NA can NOT be sold at retail, as is. It must be sold configured
to, and in conjunction with, the seller's VOIP service.
