The Broadcom ADSL chipset on the 170p is the same chipset used on the realtek/adsl combo card. I can't tell if you're trolling me or if these things are really supported by some "open" crap. It's not trivial since the 170p has something like 2mb flash and 1mb ram. The ATM stuff is all emulated in software by the Linux kernel with the 170p default software but I think the ADSL chip bundle is probably some proprietary blob. _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
