::I tried the above link in order to download the SIP v8.2 firmware and
I was unable to get past the name and password box. Is this still
working? If not, or if someone has info on v8.8, please reply or email

The username is 'anonymous' and the password is your email address.

Thanks for the reply, but using the above does not work for me; have
