I mentioned a model on the list recently.<br>
<br>
Are you remembering that? The model was the TP-Link TD-W8970. This
is Lantiq-based, as is the DSLAM to which I attach. Note that the
TD-W8980 looks identical, has a better feature set, but uses a
Trendchip SoC, which is never going to have open source software,
and is hopeless on long lines.<br>
<br>
The TD-W8970 has telnet permanently on, with a password of 'admin',
which is immutable. The latest firmware version, 28/08/2013, has a
custom version of u-boot which is difficult to change if your header
soldering skills are below par, but units in Europe have been
shipped with an earlier firmware version. An earlier version allows
flashing to OpenWRT, which is in development for, but unreleased on
this device. There are no external clues on the product box
concerning firmware version.<br>
<br>
So, there is hope for the future with that device. As you could be 3
to 4 kilometres from the exchange, I guess that a Lantiq box would
hold the line. Others might disagree.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I've seen reference on the mailing list to a DSL
modem that had a patched FW to reduce it's over buffering (but
not the actual manufacturer and model). I was going to get a
modem soon, and thought that it would be good to support a more
open platform where I can. Did anyone on the list know the
details (including where to get the updated FW)? Thanks in
advance.<br>
