Perhaps wandering off topic, but I was throwing around the idea of
writing a pseudo-SIP server for registration of this kind of device -
assuming that you have a second device that does have a web browser,
register with that and then request to add a SIP device, it provides
you with a one-off SIP "number" to call to provide the mac address.
