I don't think the MAC address is locked any more.

However, you do have to register with the system when you first start
using it. Until you've done that you can't get out onto the Internet.
 If you have a Windows machine you use the CD supplied by the
engineer. (That's how I set up mine, as my PC dual boots Windows.)
I remember someone on this list saying that you can register using
Linux, but it involves pointing your browser at a specific web page.

P.S. grateful client has just delivered Christmas cake to our office
for the staff. Three penguins on top. Serendipitous, or what?
