When talking about Yves Saint Laurent shoes, they are
always associated with integrity quality and understated look. In order to
create a bag which both incorporates luxury and practicability, tremendous
effort is spent on details. Apart from the details, the values of Yves Saint Laurent shoes also dwell on
the refined craftsmanship and luscious leathers. For the luxury shoes, a wide
range of leathers are available, including supple suede, gorgeous pewter

I had an old WRT54G v2, it has been running old sveasoft code for over a half decade, doing it well at that. I wanted something better that would work on that platform, and hesitant until now, I've found it. OpenWRT offers hundreds of packages which can be installed just like a package on any other Linux OS giving it an immense amount of flexibility. Using X-WRT I've also given it a great interface which I can view nice RRD graphs [like m0n0wall & pfsense], and quite a few other nice features.

looking at OpenWRT, I  noticed on their hardware compatibility list that the processor was over the top and it had a sufficient amount of space for installing additional packages. It also has a usb port; having this much flexibility, basically opens up your wildest imaginations. The downfall is they have been cut from production, so if an opinion would be great.

Ok so the other night I was blabbering on about tinkering with an integrated OpenBSD installation on a piece of integrated hardware. Several of the common boards are still expensive and offer minimal power and few features, there have been a tremendous amount of new boards come out lately with newer feature rich, fast processors at nearly the same price. I've found this board here which is amazing:

This is a m0n0wall based client that enables to you use Asterisk. They even have some preconfigured hardware linked on their site which comes enclosed ready for configuration and use. I have been looking into a new embedded project to play with and even though this is not it, this is a pretty awesome project. If you are unfamiliar with m0n0wall learn more here:
