nice Mini-ITX box

Absolutely not. CIte, fucktard!

There is ONE set of units by a company (Linksys) that was subsequently bought by Cisco that operated using an OS (Linux) who's license requisites required that they release the source code of their OS. The rest is history. Those units now have several flavors of Linux based "OS" variants that run on them, allowing them to operate like the pro models from back then do.

Nothing since has had it from any brand, because they would ALL have to release the source of their OS and routing schema, and none of them want to do that, so NO, it is NOT Linux on them (or we would be seeing OS discs with them). Just that one little family of Linksys (Cisco) products. And a few other makers they licensed it (the base design) out to. That's all. So from about 6 years ago on... nothing. I can cite that.

Wake up. little know nothing that acts like a know it all.

I'm on my fourth S-A modem in five years. I haven't had one of my computers infected in that time, but someone managed to hack an old Linksys router from the net, causing it to do port scans of every computer on the network. That would stop all access to the outside and crash the router before it got to any open ports. It was blocked by Zone Alarm, and in the security logs. It was getting old, so I replaced it with a different brand of router I already had.

I have had infected computers in the last five years, but they were that way when I got them to refurbish. Just pop the hard drive into an external housing and clean them up, then back into their case. :)

I have an Alcatel DSL modem, up 24/7 for many years connecting the servers to the internet, not a single lockup. Dunno what OS it runs, it just works, never a need to dig deeper in it. It also comes back up correctly after a power failure.

There exists some Linksys DSL modems that run Linux. If J.L. has DSL, he should just go buy a good modem. But if he has cable then he is probably locked to whatever cheap box they dump on their customers. But of course it is hard to say what happens and pointing a finger without having a look at the network traffic, I use 'snort' on my Linux PC to monitor that, it is possible J.L.'s system sends crap to that modem so it locks up. First one should check the network traffic. Firewalls should be properly configured too. Anyways his whole system sucks, just design some embedded controller, write code in C or asm, and be done with it. Cheaper, faster, simpler, Use an ethernet webcam. My 100 $ worth. Make that 200 all stuff included.

Name one cable company that does not allow the customer to own his own modem.

Oh... that's right. You are not even in the US. You are locked to whatever cheap anything they foist upon you. Shame one of the deliveries isn't a chest gripping death.

"his whole system sucks..."

Yeah, you're a real engineer, Jan. FOAD!

No. The requirement to publish the source code made most manufacturers use something else. Even Linksys is using their own proprietary OS for several years already.

You actually spent time writing this stupid shit?

Hey, idiot... don't FOAD, you have your reward! Bwuahahahahahahah! Stew in your stupidity, ditz!

You are just pissed because your stupid "expert cable industry knowledge" is bullshit, and you know it! You guess as you go way too often, little boy!

You can use Linux as an embedded platform and publish no source code whatsoever. It takes a bit of a twister dance sometimes, but it is not required. There is even a suite of tools that "automate" compliance checking.

There are products built on Linux that have outright proprietary code running on 'em.

NOPE!

Bullshit. It take a LOT of dancing EVERY time, and that is why makers don't do it. D'oh!

Bullshit.

That doesn't make your stupid claim true either.

That is the code, not the OS it runs on. Try again.

I said it's a cable modem.

As I noted, if I call Suddenkink and tell the the service is down, they tell me to power cycle the modem, and that usually fixes it.

What, O great computer guru, would you do?

You make that noise a lot. You should see a doctor about that.

He'll claim it's only a typo. You see, it's only a typo when it emanates from his keyboard, anyone else who makes a typo is a "total retard.".

This too shall pass. Maybe. Nah...

Whereas you are simply nothing.

You are almost as pathetic as Terrell, but I tire of your lame attempts at "humorous insults". I am already laughing, however, at knowing that you are wasting your personal time to hunt up and create ascii stupidity, and likely will again.
