Dunno if Loren's is that way or not?

To the best of my memory the Alcatel 1000 doesn't require any configuration. I installed/moved/drop kicked my fair share of them a few years back doing consulting and I don't recall ever setting a thing on them. They where pretty bullet proof actually (damn ugly though).

Maybe they require configuration only if changing DSL providers? I most likely only set them up with PacBell DSL as they where PB's standard modem for quite a while.
