My guess is that you've bought a PAP2 that was originally locked to
a VoIP provider. Someone has "unlocked it" and then sold it on.
However, for whatever reason, the PAP2 has been reset and at that
point gone to the original providers website to download the latest
firmware. It is more than probable you now have a PAP2 /BRICK.
