This week I contacted my internet provider and we did some tests.

This time it took a few minutes before the modem stopped responding.

So you need to use the site www.vandale.nl a bit before the bug occurs.
( I did it by opening a second browser )

The internet provider also confirmed they had buffer issues.

So it might be that only dutch modems are effected or all motorola's are 
effected.

So I think it could be exploited by writing a denial of service... which 
sends a malformed tcp packet just like that site does.

What I am concerned about is if other sites start using the same software 
(webserver?) like www.vandale.nl does.

Also if you know how to program a motorola surfboard you might be able to 
write viruses or stuff like that.

Later...
