Did anyone buy NPLI? Netpliance? Runs on Linux

A slight correction. There's a relatively simple hack which allows you to replace the Flash memory card with a 2-1/2 inch hard drive, which then allows you to run any PC OS you want. Since there's no floppy in this thing you have to install the OS first on another machine and then transfer the drive.

As it comes out of the store it runs it's own OS and will connect only with one ISP.
