Hello,

This is the model of the router supplied by my isp (ya.com) in spain for 
double play (adsl+voip, replacing analog voice), so the model number 
probably means nothing.
It's made by arcadyan, it has an adsl port, a 4 port ethernet switch, g 
wireless and 2 FXS ports.
I opened it and took some photos, unfortunately the main chip is covered 
with a glued-in heatsink.

The wireless chip is an atheros 2417 (3rd photo), the switch is a 
realtek (2nd photo) and there's not much else there.
I suppose it's a danube because the firmware file (that I cannot 
decipher) it's called 
"ya.com-FW-1.00.001(danube-AnnexA-ISDNx-FXOx-USB).bin", and there are 
references to DANUBE inside (e.g. there's an embedded zip file with a 
"DANUBE_2.1.2.15.0.1.bin" file).
On the second photo you can see a J2 header that's probably a serial port.
Do you think it's really based on the danube chipset? If so it should be 
possible to run openwrt on it, though I won't have the possibility to 
experiment too much since the device will be providing my main phone 
line (through its FXS ports).

Bye
