+1 therein lies the crux of the matter. However, I'm reasonably sure that OpenWRT (which has TR069 stuff, see UKNOF presentations passim, iirc?) on some recent 128MB+RAM hardware will be a good starting point, though care will need to be taken to ensure that throughput can cope with future speeds. Please that most customers are non-geek, so skinning and greying out features is the way to go to protect them from themselves and prevent your support lines melting under the strain of finger-fiddlers. But like Brandon says, that's another issue - it's the end-end+demark principle. I see this as BT Group washing their hands of things as a business tactic to raise profits on SFI visits and dodge out of fixing the faults in their plant. I can see only one winner there. -- sent via Gmail web interface, so please excuse my gross neglect of Netiquette
