Re: [PLUG] FON? Anyone heard of it or used it?

I bought a FON router, but flashed it to dd-wrt.  I didn't like the
firmware that was shipped on it.  My intent is to reflash and attempt
joining the community, as was originally intended, as there are newer
versions of the FON firmware available.

The router I received is a WRT54GL.  It's functionality is not crippled
in anyway.
