Playing with a d-link modem

I finally managed to hack a D-Link DSL300T series modem, which works using a Montavista embedded Linux distribution for AR7 (with a few proprietary modules and tools unfortunately). I have now a TTL-2-RS232 adapter to better control the box with a serial console, thanks to a friend of my LUG. I'd like to add at least openvpn to the box, to get a great low-cost vpn gateway.

On the embedded side, I just discovered that my recent handheld i-mate PDA2k is a Blue Angel compatible with GPE and Familiar. Just another toy to play with whenever I'll have time and another spare unit, which can be in a few (at least for the spare unit part).

BTW, I'm seriuosly starting to think 24 hours in a day are too few to do whatever I would.
