While I agree, inserting a router/switch between the modem & the clients/servers

of equipment over the years, and I'd like to take a stab at building a
(free)bsd kernel with associated drivers for them. Their all MIPS based, and
many of them have ~32Mb && ~64Mb flash space & RAM. So, resources aren't too
unreasonable. In the end, the benefits of having something /I/ have control

makes these devices a great more valuable. It also empowers others whom are
currently subject to the limitations their ISP imposes on them.
Thank you again for taking the time to respond.

That's all correct as long as there are all pieces. F.ex. I've heard of
some low level problems with some of the chipsets. The wifi chipsets are
the most known for this. I think that I've heard about xDSL chipsets
with similar problems. I wish you all the best with making your own
firmware for this hardware.
