Mine hasn't, as far as I know, but the company hasn't done a single updated in years.
I install a lot of Adtran gear and they do update AOS occasionally. I have no idea how secure it is though. I don't know the details, but in some ways it has a Unix feel to it. Some of the other equipment I work with definitely runs Linux. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
