Re: Cisco....
said by Primis1  :... tinkering where no tinkering needed to be done. This is quite humourous considering the thread is lossely based open source firmware - tinkering. 
Seriously tho - it's a shame these companies do not open up to allow a user-developed, open firmware area within the product, so that users can customize a product. Or better yet - why not make that a feature on mid-range to higher priced networking equipment? It's obvious one of the successes in this project was the open-source community's response to the idea of opening up the firmware. It improved, corrected, and added to, the product - for free.
So the box might have to cost more money - at least they would make a bit extra on a 'feature'. |
