possible?: External harddrive + Motorola SB5100E Surfboard = NAS
my girlfriend and I moved lately and the former owner left his motorola surfboard behind. Internet provider placed a new one so I've got myself a spare one. Now my question is this:
is it possible to flash the firmware (if yes, which firmware) of this thing so I can connect my external hdd to the usb port of it and connect the lan port with my new modem?
I'd love to use this thing as a torrentbox and as a nas (buying a nas is expensive & way less fun) so I can acces all my data from any computer on the network.
I've looked for things like open-wrt and dd-wrt but I'm not sure those can handle modems (weren't in the database). Second thing I ask myself, is how this thing would react now the usb isn't connected with a computer but just with a hdd..
any thought on this one?

but the sb5100 is hackable in other ways
