Hello Gavin,                                                    
                                                                       
I stumbled across your site after googling "port 3859" and was happy to see
some ripwave hacking in progress.

I've decompiled the diagnostic program this afternoon in the hopes of finding a
way to dump the firmware. I would like to investigate any possible bios
modifications (TX power +boost, overclocking, or whatever comes to mind). Also,
it seems to me these modems might be more stable with a heatsink?
                                                                         
On the header of the .jad (java decompiled source) files you will see the app
used for reversing. I'll leave it to you to investigate the non-navini code
bundled in the diag +program (ftp utils in particular).                                     
                                                                      
There is a major cache of information contained in these files, that would
allow someone of the proper inclination to build a custom diagnostics and/or
configuration program +complete with string identifiers. Now you can see how
these packets are decoded, and how some are generated with ease.
                            
I may give it a go but I thought someone like yourself would be interested in
the data nonetheless!
                                                               
[please excuse the large attachment, and for not using bzip2 ]
                                              
Regards,

P.S. Let me know what you think!
