I see Lucent have changed their "model" to require us to have a maintenece subscription to be able to download any TAOS >= 9.1.x This, for me, is a real pisser since my APX is only a month old and before upgrading from my PM4 I specifically asked if software upgrades were free of charge in the future (as they were with the PM4/Livingston and other ascend kit). The response from my supplier was that they would be free of charge. Perhaps Lucent in their current finincial difficulty is trying to squeeze every possible revenue source - forcing users to take out maintenence contracts just so they can get newer (base) software / bug fixes.
