Most of Netcomm's routers as well.  When I was setting up my new NB-1
ADSL modem, I noted the URL was of the form
http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/webcgi?path=/usr/www-pub/... - i.e. they'd
implemented a CGI program to be a web server underneath the actual web
server application.  Great work, Netcomm.

According to their page at
http://kb.netcomm.com.au/kb/default.asp?id=1600&Lang=1, they will supply
the GPL firmware only on CD and at the cost of $10.00 for postage and
handling.  Is this a GPL violation?

Have fun,

Paul
