No choice.  This is an appliance (http://www.accxx.com/), the TA-200,
that does VoIP. But I can't program it.  The login page comes up, I
log in and get a blank page.  Looking at the source I see Language
VBscript, then some code to redirect to unitinfo.html.

Changing to unitinfo.html I can see the unit info.  Go to the next
page to program the thing and it defaults to dhcp.  Changing that to
static is _supposed_ to get you a box to put in a static IP (but
again, the box doesn't show up because it's in VBscript as an
if/then).

I wrote a nastygram to the morons to send me new firmware written in
universal Javascript.  But since I don't have millions of $$$ I have
to find a solution to this myself.

Awaiting their answer, but not hopeful.
