Most likely because these are links to my Dropbox. I'll send you a link 
off-list. But I'm in doubt that it contains what you are looking for.

With a lot of help from Sylwester I've modified the Hardware of an Annex 
A board in a way that it syncs on an Annex B line.

I had to change some bootstrap resistors to change the hybrid mode of 
the VRX208. Afterwards I was able to load an Annex B firmware. 
Unfortunately it was the last step I made.

Prior I changed some more resistors, some caps and the line transformer 
to match the components to what I found on Annex B boards. Not sure if 
it was really necessary.

I do not have a real clue what the AVM commands do. But it looks like 
they are patching some (ram/register?) values of the VRX208. To my 
knowledge, the VRX208 is an arc cpu and the xdsl firmware some kind of 
operating system. But I could be wrong on this. There is literally no 
information about Lantiq chips publicly available.

I already had a look at some AVM GPL tarballs, but none of them had the 
xdsl driver/daemon source code included. Would be to easy for us...
