Cannot check for updates, yet again

Right, I get that it may be currently default. That does not change anything I said.

In fact this system was at least FreePBX 14 originally. If not FreePBX 13. I do not recall without digging into the client history. But again, if you (Sangoma/FreePBX team) want this to be the global default, you need to make the updates to make it so.
