Ramblings for the day ... I recall there being some discussions on the list about this device and looked into it a bit more and was quite impressed. It beat my old pc firewall and uses less power (and decibels) to boot (less power is good with my machines) ...
Just picked up one of these babies (BestBuy $90 or some such) .. sweat deal ... Actually, it's a WRT54GS (speedy software thingy, ugh) .. but .. has twice the memory!
So, starting to sniff around the net and find out more ... man, is there more ... http://openwrt.org/ .. main site of stuff ... http://www.wrt54g.com/ .. another site ... http://www.sveasoft.com/ ...
Thinking that most asterisk guys are on this list too ... how to put asterisk on your WRT54G! http://lestblood.imagodirt.net/archives/106-Asterisk-on-OpenWRT-part-2.html
Naturally, extending this into the asterisk world, and me being a ham radio operator, the thought crosses my mind about utilizing asterisk for repeater interoperation ... a quick google and it's already been done:

Just havin' fun ...

This is an example of what happens when a computer appliance runs Open Source software and is open to firmware updates. It is hard to see how Linksys loses in this senario. I know I bought a second WRT54G because of this.
Glad to see you are having fun.
