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 .
