Seems that lots of sip providers overseas that supply hardware to their
customers "lock" that hardware to their service - from various forum traffic
appears Vonage in the US and ENGIN in Aust for do this for example.  And,
Slingshot providing access to their config is certainly not "official" and may
well get stomped on when they're more established and don't need community
support to debug their system.  Just my 2c.
