The Inquirer talks with an engineer who opened up the Cisco "Network Access Module" for its 6500 switch. "The card, he claims, is running a Linux kernel and has a number of GPL tools included such as syslogd klogd crond mingetty agetty ps & top. 'If you have access to CCO and download updated software for the NAM you find that it is basically a gziped disk image of a Linux System complete with Lilo and a number of FSF foundation utilities (strings imagefile | grep Foundation)'".
