Most of the T-Com Speedports (except for the very old ones, which come from Siemens) are just rebranded FritzBoxen (with some functionality removed/patched), so they also run a(n ARM-)Linux, and are even more or less firm-ware compatible with the FritzBox firmwares (I reflashed a Speedport 500 [?? IIRC] once with a FritzBox firmware to get proper VoIP support). Just FYI. -- Heiko Wundram
