Sounds like they upped the memory since the last time I looked.

And to be honest, even with VxWorks, they're pretty reliable little routers.

I have no doubt they are. I just like being able to ssh to a command line and run vi to modify config files.
For that matter, the Belkin is reliable. It's just basically unhackable. I found one third-party firmware effort for it, and the author was eloquent about the issues. He just couldn't get his code to compile small enough while still adding the features he found desirable.

I also prefer OpenWRT to DD-WRT or Tomato.

I looked at those, and they are worthy products that are more than capable of doing the job. I just happened to like Tomato better.

I personally use a Asus WL-500g, which is on similar hardware to the WRT54g, but has certain advantages (like a USB port), and has Oleg's Firmware, which is pretty good. You can't get them new these days though.

There are a few others like that, all based on a Broadcom chipset. Buffalo has one that looks nice.
One of my background efforts was seeing what was involved in getting
Asterisk to run on the WRT54G. It's doable - I ran into a writeup on a telecom guy that had done it - and Astersik was something I wanted to learn about, with the Linksys providing a low cost platform. Ah, well. Later.
