[aampal aam]

hi,

I got this link on goggling :

http://www.bettina-attack.de/jonny/view.php/projects/linksys_befsx41_stuff/installing_uclinux/

this  is specific for our router.....
But after installing, what can be done? uis it possible to install
softweares like iftop or ntop on he router? or which tool can be used
for user/ip wise usage monitoring/ access control......


Thanks,
Anoop
