I'll second that.

I mostly just played with the configuration of the dial plan to get it to a 
workable point for CNET use and noticed a number of strange things about 
the VT1005 along the way, like a new configuration doesn't appear to start 
working until a call attempt or two.  The VT1005 is a strange bird in a lot 
of ways, but does work OK once it's configured.

I haven't done anything with a locked VT1005, nor do I plan to!
