Tried it. About 2 years ago.  Couldn't even get it to run reliably on a
windows box through Verizon DSL.
At that time they were running a software upgrade 2+ times a week trying to
get the thing working on all networks.
Finally gave up and took it back to the store.
The support number comes with the box but all they have are wetware
phonebots with scripts.
