A "refresh to factory defaults" will revert it back to its original condition. I haven't yet tried it on AT&T, but with T-Mobile, each phone was pretty isolated. Not only could you not see anyone on your subnet (only the gateway), you could only make outbound connections. Connections from the internet into your phone were blocked at the router. With AT&T, I ASSUME it works the same, but I might be making an BUTT out of YOU and I by assuming that AT&T does things competently. Vortech: I tweaked my terminal a bit for the screengrab. It's usually about 30-40% transparent, but still green-on-black. One of these days, I am considering upgrading it by a few years to good ol' amber-on-black.

Why were we both compelled to make our modern computer's CLI look like an AS400 terminal? Hmm.  Why were we both compelled to make our modern computer’s CLI look like an AS400 terminal?

That's like Blade Runner, man! Does that leave all of the original phone software so the phone still works? With openssh installed, does that mean that you can log into it from the interweb? Or perhaps try to host scan AT&T's subnets on 22 to find such phones? GIBSON! That’s like the future!  That’s like Blade Runner, man!
