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. There was some attempt to do an MMU-less Linux kernel fork at one point, but I don't know if that included any m68k effort (or if it really went anywhere). -- Chris Adams <cma@cmadams.net>
