Frankly, you want to walk away from Blackberry nonsense.  I don't know
if it's just the dolts here in Panama, but the few folks here that
want their "Crackberries" to access their e-mail, I have to modify
everything to allow plain text authentication.

Imagine, these morons want their passwords broadcast over the air
unencrypted.  I've made all of them that demanded this sign a waiver
absolving me of breakins (and the subsequent problems that ensue)
using these passwords.
