subject: Re: Any good recomends for a linux based asdl router?

From: "Rich Gauszka" 

I know nothing about it but D-link was marketing this one in Britain for
several years

http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT5572978370.html

D-Link has released source code, under the GNU GPL license, for a
MIPS-based ADSL router with a built-in four-port switch and wireless
802.11g/b radio. The DSL-G604T supports "all major ISPs," D-Link
says, and has been marketed primarily in Australia, Great Britain, and
Russia.

Under G.dmt (discrete multi-tone, ITU-T standard G-992.1), the device
supports speeds of 8Mbps downstream and 832Kbps upstream. Under G.lite (aka
splitterless ADSL, ITU-T standard G-992.2), the device supports speeds of
1.5Mbps downstream, and 512Kbps upstream. Supported line protocols include
bridged Ethernet over ATM, PPP over ATM, and PPP over Ethernet.

A firmware upgrade is also available for users of ADSL2, ADSL2+, and
reach-extended ADSL2 (RE-ADSL2). The device supports TFTP or HTTP firmware
upgrades.

The DSL-G604T has built-in MIBs (management information bases) and can be
managed by SNMP. User management can be done through a web interface, or
with a command-line interface accessible via telnet.

...

The device's embedded operating system is based on a MontaVista Linux
2.4.17 MIPS-processor kernel. Other open source software packages include
uClibc, busybox, iptables, netkit/routed, net-tools, thttpd, squashfs,
cramfs, utelnetd/inetd, zlib, and mtd.

GPL'd Linux software for the DSL-G604T can be downloaded in the form of
diff and tar files from D-Link's UK office or its Russian office.
