I have been lucky enough to get an ADSL router that ships with VXWorks 
on it *shudder*.  What's more, it doesn't have a telnet interface (even 
though the web-based interface says it does).  It does have FTP support, 
but you can't use that to update/upgrade the OS... you need to "flash 
it" using the supplied Windows software (*shudder again*) with a USB 
cable.  But, flashing it voids any warranty you may have on it...  Oh, 
the joy of getting the cheapest router I could find.  At least I have an 
IPCop box running behind it. :D

Grant.
