Hi there, yes, I've seen the site you linked and have already mailed to Tatung, but no response received yet and there's also no Linux available on their website. Anyway I guess they are only communicating with big distributors like Telekom, no support for private people. Nevertheless I intend to put barebox or U-Boot compiled for MIPS in the MBR of the box's hard disk, loading a Linux MIPS kernel and booting into Debian MIPS. That project should have a chance, right?
