[Eug-lug] netgear produces an 'open source router'

[Bob Carlson]

These router chips are now very highly integrated. What's really nice about
this product is that the RAM and flash are larger than you can get nowadays.
All the cheap routers are now down to 2 MB of flash. The extra memory should
make it possible to run Asterisk in one of these for example.

This suggests so, yes:

Nice one -- I wish they woulda slammed the LinkSys WRT54GL price, say
by making the thing only have one ethernet port.
It'd be nice to see bluetooth DUN in these things, and prices more
like $20-$30... then lots of devices could roam & sync.
