Hum, very probable, if someone has such a box it would be interesting to check what's running in, the hardware is probably generic, that could easilly be found either by shell access or by using a screwdriver (wondering about the amount of RAM ;-) And for the software either they explicitely tell what's running or some probing could get it too (TCP/IP stack handling signature for the OS and playing with extensions support and other stuff to guess the XML stack). Just curious, the price compared to a 1u PeeCee with extension NIC board would be another interesting data point, more than the color or the weight...
