Couldn't you install linux on the cisco 2500s Im pretty sure at some time I got that to work so I could get SSH on them.
Cisco 2500 series used a 68EC030, which is a dumbed-down 68030 with no MMU. The Linux m68k project always required an MMU, so it would not run on that CPU.
I haven't tried it, but: http://www.kdvelectronics.eu/uClinux-cisco2500/uClinux-cisco2500.html Regards, Bill Herrin -- For hire. https://bill.herrin.us/resume/
