Now that Nortel is in charge that is the case 'pay pay pay'
When I worked at NWRain.net we had a BLN in use . When it
was put into service the way to get SMxxx was to just ftp
to their site & grab the latest 'production' version .
If you had a Maint. Contract just call & ask for the lastest
service group patched version ... that of course was before
Nortel started providing 'Improved' services to it customers .
