  24 bits of netmask should be enough for anyone.  ;-)

  OpenWRT has a metric crapload of packages which appear in the
"available to be installed" list.  SNMP, Radius, Samba, Asterisk, all
sorts of stuff.

  You should like it, ipkg is based on dpkg/apt.  ;-)

  I did see that the X-WRT/Webif^2 package I installed added all sorts
of really pretty looking graphs in the web UI.  I didn't really get
further than going "Ohhh, pretty" yet, but I think bandwidth
utilization was in there.
