Netgear spun off from Nortel/Bay Networks, and are now completely independent. They're concentrating on the SMB (Small to Medium Business) marketplace while Nortel dropped all their products that we were using in regional ISPs (most notably their Annex 8000 series Remote Access Controllers) to concentrate on gear for telco central offices. I suspect that most of the Nortel router and lower end networking folks ended up at Netgear, which gives them a pretty good pedigree. On a subject only related by name, does anybody know of a tftp client for Linux that supports password authentication necessary to do firmware uploads to the LinkSys BEFVP41 VPN boxes? I found a Mac client which works fine on my PowerMac G4, but I would prefer a Linux client that I can use on my laptop.
