Well as I mentioned, the Linksys TFTP app indicates nothing no router is there to communicate with. I successfully used this app on the router when getting rid of the VXWorks OS. So I know how that part works unless there are some additional sneaky techniques. As for the serial idea, are you referring to soldering on a serial port? That looks no less invasive than the JTAG approach.

The problem with your approach is the cost me thinks. -- m0gely _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
