---Ray, I've found sites online that give instructions for DIY unlocking.
From memory I simply found these through a quick Googling. Sighted

| Hi, and please note the change of subject line, and many thanks to Brian
Hartgen for his enlightenment on the 6630.
|
| Now I'm asking about unlocking hones, legally. I presume it can be done.
Do many vendors do this? How much is it likely to cost?
|
| Help much apprecieated.
