How to unlock your crippled Computer Shop modem for free
The Computer Shop UK has a deal on a PC that comes with a firmware-locked modem that can only dial one ISP, Supanet. In order to get unlocked, you need to pay a pound a minute to call their support line and then fork over £60 so they can post you a CD that will restore your modem to good working order.
Yoz has the deal, and a link to a utility that can unlock your modem without paying Computer Shop's ransom. Link
