[wplug] linux embedded appliances?

[Poyner, Brandon]

The Linksys WRT54G wireless router is embedded Linux.  You can even
flash it with a firmware of your own design, so that you can add
features that it didn't come with such as telnet and ssh daemons.  Not
bad for a sub $100 device.  I think there are other Linksys routers that
are using Linux, and I heard some of the Buffalo Tech routers run Linux
as well.

Hi,

We all know that the Tivo is an linux embedded consumer appliance
but I was just wondering....

Are there any others that are escaping me?

The reason why I ask is the reporter from the Post Gazette asked me
and none came to mind.

Surely there are plenty of industrial Linux embedded tools and 
appliances out there but due to their proprietary nature, I
can't name one either.

The coke machine around here comes to mind but that's a bunch of
grad students goofing off and not a product.

(sorry, I don't think the camera images work for ipaddrs outside 128.2)

Thanks,
Beth Lynn
