Linksys Directs Users To Phone Sex Line
Shipping screw up gives some users a surprise...

Gizmodo reports that they purchased a WRH54G from Circuit City, and found that the 1-800 support line listed on the unit directed them to an adult chat service instead of Linksys customer support. Reading their user comments, the unit was apparently excess stock from India, and the number, if dialed in India with the proper prefix, would have connected the user to Linksys support. Circuit City ultimately takes the blame, as they should not be selling the gear in the States.
