That looks very interesting...

For information, the actual product page is at
http://www.paradigm.com.tw/a3_Adsl_PAE-CE61.html - there's a firmware
upgrade available there, and it appears to use vxWorks :-)

Oh, and it's currently available from Dabs at £45 inc. VAT and not noticably
anywhere else.

I'm pretty tempted...
