Interesting, My vonage device is made by motorola, but, they have a large amount of processors running uClinux to a full linux (w/MMU)> Can you tell what the chipset is?

Not sure I'd discuss this in an open forum, but, if you look long enough you can find just about anything from XP to cisco sources, so I'd not be surprised to learn of vonage sources. But, let me introduce you to the CLUE_TRAIN.... It's a thousand times easier to write, debug and use code you develop, than to poke around a starving_vendor's property. If you start looking 'under the hood' of the average embedded system, your likely to be disappointed.......... Beside why not just ask the company for a job, cause most of them have lots of broken or poorly_written embeddecd code. Vonage is no exception. I know one MAJOR router vendor that routinely uses driver code directly from a silicon company.......caveat emptor! PS, if you put Vonage out of business (hacking and publishing their code) it's very likely there will not be any serious competitors with AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and all of the other behemoths.....
