Interesting, My vonage device is made by motorola, but, they have |
| 11 |
a large amount of processors running uClinux to a full linux (w/MMU)> |
| 12 |

Can you tell what the chipset is? If so, go to that semi company |
| 14 |
and look at their published app notes. |

That's not hard, most devices run a flavor of 'sip' and if you poke about |
| 24 |
the sources to various protocols, associated with slip (megaco etc etc) |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
You'll figure how how it works. Often, vendors do not stray far from |
| 27 |
published code..... |

Interested in embedded system, are we? |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
gentoo_embedded is what you want...... |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Is there any way I can get in? Does anyone know any tricks |

Not sure I'd discuss this in an open forum, but, if you look long enough |
| 51 |
you can find just about anything from XP to cisco sources, so |
| 52 |
I'd not be surprised to learn of vonage sources. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
But, let me introduce you to the CLUE_TRAIN.... |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
It's a thousand times easier to write, debug and use code you |
| 57 |
develop, than to poke around a starving_vendor's property. |
| 58 |
If you start looking 'under the hood' of the average embedded |
| 59 |
system, your likely to be disappointed.......... Beside |
| 60 |
why not just ask the company for a job, cause most of them |
| 61 |
have lots of broken or poorly_written embeddecd code. Vonage |
| 62 |
is no exception. I know one MAJOR router vendor that routinely uses |
| 63 |
driver code directly from a silicon company.......caveat emptor! |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
PS, if you put Vonage out of business (hacking and publishing their |
| 66 |
code) it's very likely there will not be any serious competitors |
| 67 |
with AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and all of the other behemoths..... |
