|  X3 gateway owners...
I'll try this again... This is a request to all X3 Gateway owners to please contact me regarding your gateway. I'm interesting in getting one or two of these gateways to tweak with the embedded Linux OS present on it. If anyone has one they are willing to part with, please respond below as I am willing to pay shipping for one or two to be sent to me. Thanks,

I will check out the model of my brother's modem.
He got his around1 or 2 months before they said they were disconnecting DSL.

I was wanting to hack around on an X3 myself. I have migrated to SBC and came back to this forum to see if anyone had any info on how to get root on one of these. Does anyone know if they can be interfaced via the WAN port? |

Could someone post a picture of an X3 modem? I've never seen it. |

Is there a public project going on with either X2 or X3 gateways? It would be nice to be able to get a SBC-type X2s that could act as a DSL firewall with mounting / via NFS and such.
Of course, the X2 case is twice as large as it should be... |

Since this is DMT ADSL, the only way you can interface via WAN is to have a DSLAM handy. You can do a back-to-back using certain SDSL modems (ie, the Netopia 7100s for Rythms/Northpoint), but it required one to supply clock and act as the DSLAM... |

Just got myself a X3. It has a TNETD5320 125mhz MIPS processor with 16MB of SDRAM powering the thing. The U numbers are the mark on the board, the description is my guess(es) on it.
U2 TI TNETD5014 (DSL support)
U7 TI TNETD5100 (DSP)
U6 IDT IDT71V256 (256K SRAM)
U14 TI TNETD5320 (CPU)
U13 Opti FireLink 82C861 (USB controller)
U21&22 Samsung K4S641632E 7.5ns (64mbit SDRAM)
U23 Toshiba TC58V64BFT (64mbit NAND Flash)
U25 (can't read the part number because of label)
U20 Broadcom BCM5221 (802.3u PHY)
There are two JP headers, JP4 and JP5. JP4 is located right next to the CPU, JP5 next to the Flash. Both are 2x7. |

I have one. If you create a public project to hack on these, you are likely to get a better response. What exactly are you trying to do?

| Just talked to some guy who's selling me his $20 shipped. Faster processor and faster ethernet could allow for 802.11a adaptivity.
Is the x3 USB 2.0 compatible, or just 1.1? The sucker was designed back in 2000/2001, so I'm guessing 1.1.

| It is 1.1. The USBF is identical to the X1/X2. The USBH is not working (probably because the drivers isn't in the firmware).
As for 802.11a, good luck. I counted a minimum of 64 lines required just to get the PCI bus working. I don't see 64 on the board. |
