Thanks for the pointer. I did a search for "2wire canada computers" and 
came up the comments.

I reset my gateway once again and it wouldn't connect anymore.
Back to Canada Computers for an exchange, I also bought another unit so 
I would have 2 to test.
One unit had an AT&T sticker and the other didn't.
Both work but I can't configure them both.

I think some are defective and some have modified firmware.
 From the comments, many do work and can be configured.
You're lucky that you have a configurable unit :-)
The rep on both occasions did the exchange without question when I said 
"It didn't work."
I noticed he took it to the back(where they store the defective units).

I have already returned 2 units to Canada Computers(1 on each occasion) 
and will return one of the two that I presently have. I'll keep one unit 
for an emergency spare.

Enough is enough.

Many thanks, Dave and Hugh for the help.
