Hello, I would like to take this opportunity to share our success story.
Calibri research is involved in micro-router design and VPN
solution deployment.
Our routers are based on embedded Linux, using LRP distribution.

X86 Platform with AMD and Cyrix CPUs. The cost varies from $60 to $250
to build. All of the main-boards have DiskonChip socket.

We started with LRP (linux router project) distribution, using kernel 2.0.36
Recently we started to adapt 2.2 linux kernel.

There are several ways. One is to run hyperterminal and use serial port to
login into the router. Another is to simply telnet or ssh to the preset IP
number.
> 4) What kind of sales have you done in your market segment?
We are targetting DSL/cable modem market. Calibri-133, is an excellent
system, if you want personal firewall at home, or a VPN machine.

The routers based on Linux are exteremely stable. LRP creates the Ramdisk
when booting, while DiskOnChip is used to store and backup OS and data
images.
