I'd use this thread to raise another issue (although it might have been nicer to start a new thread). This ECI 312+ is rather old - it's not sold (or given) anymore, as far as I know. But it runs Linux inside, and theoretically can do whatever you want - but as far as I could find out, ECI does not help you in any way - does not provide sources for their firmware, etc. Perhaps if enough people are interested (or at least determined ones), we can make them open up the device and have it as a nice young brother to the WRT54G (with only 2MB flash/8MB RAM). Would anyone be interested?
I don't think they would be interested. As you said it's rather old and you can't get/they can't sell more of them. If they were to open them up, it would create a demand for them again, and they probably have no way of fulfilling the demand, supplying spare parts or support for them, etc. As a cheap router, there are lots of them sold new in the 250 NIS range if you shop around, can any of them be opened up? Do any of them have a direct aDSL connection, or are they all ethernet on the WAN side? Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
