For those that are interested in the vt1000 paper I wrote a while back, I have it now on my webpage, at http://www.0xdecafbad.com/Unlocking-Motorola-VT1000.html
Some of the information there was posted elsewhere, some wasnt. basically the unit runs vxworks, and it needs a docsis like server to reconfigure properly (its different from the cable modem docsis stuff mot does) but ... I think most if not all the hardware is supported in linux, I didnt really check just glanced at the chips, it may be possible to reflash the unit with an embedded linux version and run a very stripped down asterisk implementation, thus making the units more valuable, and since there are many in surplus now with no large provider supporting them anymore, you may be able to get em really cheap (I believe ebay has some for cheap). There is support to reflash without difficulty, providing you use the vxworks boot loader, there is a connector that may be jtag which would let you more easily reflash without doing dev work under vxworks to write a loader app on the unit. Again this is stuff I didnt really look into. Downside is that JTAG is slow so you prolly wouldnt want to reflash the whole thing via JTAG but just enough to get to the serial port and read the rest of the data that way. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378
