BT Voyager 2500v locked to ISP stephanjs 03-22-06

I have a Voyager 2500v but cannot get it to log onto PlusNet (or any
other ISP
for that matter). It has a program that lockes it to
btbroadband only. There are
other modems that have been locked by BT
this way but there are "hacks" to get
around this.

Those hacks do not work on the 2500v. Well they only allow the modem to
say
"connecting" but it times-out and defaults back to btbroadband
again.

There must be a way around it. Does anyone know? Can anyone help
please?

I have copied the instructions on getting around earlier BT locks
below. this is
not my fix but was taken from
http://corz.org/comms/hardware/router/other.bt.voyager.routers.php.

"I just bypassed the domainLock on a new BT voyager [220V] that I was
trying to
get working on Eclipse for a friend.

No need to mess about with firmware or process lists, the solution
really is
incredibly simple thanks to a little JavaScript magic :)

1. Navigate (using Internet Explorer, FireFox is untested) to this
URL:
http://192.168.1.1/connect.html (replace IP with whatever your voyager
is)
The purpose of this is to make the connect page the only frame - other
frames
screw up the JavaScript below.

2. Open Notepad, and type in the following text exactly as it appears:
javascript:function C1() { if (domainLock == 1) { domainLock = 0; } }
C1();
(the above must be all on 1 line).

3. You will notice that the connect page in your router refreshes every
10-20
seconds or so. After the next refresh, immediately copy and paste
the text in
step 2 into the URL bar of Internet Explorer and hit
ENTER.

4. It will seem to you like nothing has happened - but now just enter
(or
preferably paste) your new ISP details in and hit connect - no more
annoying
"unsupported broadband service" message You must do all of
this before the next
refresh happens - so have everything ready in
notepad for quick pasting.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This worked for me *AFTER* I had actually set up my new
ISP
(Eclipse) in the router's Telnet CLI - you will have to do this
first. WAN
settings are always VPI:0 VCI:38 PPPoATM, VCMUX
encapsulation, and most other
stuff can be left as default except your
new ISP details. The above 4 steps
simply allow you to CONNECT with
your new ISP details AFTER the details are
saved in the router."
