I could care less if there is a difference between the "modem" and "router", you will get the same response that Jezra did. - 8 years ago
Hi Liz
I think your response may have been colored by the oddly aggressive posts by the other forum members.
As you can see in that old quoted thread, it was asking a wholly different question unrelated to this one.
The router of this modem *is* running Linux with Busybox. Both of which are under the GPL v2 license. It is not a question of what OS the modem's router is running. That is already clearly available from the modem's syslog as I quoted in the original post.
For your reference:

Please do pass this on up your support channels.
Thank you.
Fine and dandy, but, as I said, they wont release any information in regards to it. Hughesnet has always been super secretive about that stuff.
It's a fair question.... They appear to be running an un-patched and ancient version of BusyBox (circa 2011).... Which would/could be susceptible to multiple CVE's including most of these. By requesting the source, he will be able to quickly discern if appropriate patches have been refactored or not.
