17 Most of the T-Com Speedports (except for the very old ones, which come from
18 Siemens) are just rebranded FritzBoxen (with some functionality
19 removed/patched), so they also run a(n ARM-)Linux, and are even more or less
20 firm-ware compatible with the FritzBox firmwares (I reflashed a Speedport 500
21 [?? IIRC] once with a FritzBox firmware to get proper VoIP support).
