@ Roseway,
Thanks for your caution. I stand corrected; they are a bit shy as to their components but state:-
ADSL Modem
• ADSL1, ADSL2, ADSL2+
• DSLAM interoperability: Alcatel, Lucent AnyMedia,
Lucent Stinger, Cisco, AFC, Adtran, Catena, ECI, Copper
Mountain, Nokia
• ANSI and ETSI loops
and
The Modem Replacement
Models with an ADSL1/2/2+ broadband interface include advanced modem technology unique to 2Wire, raising the bar on modem performance. The 2Wire designed modem technology takes advantage of an extremely low noise, high linearity ADSL Analog Front End (AFE) and digital echo canceller, providing excellent long loop and bridge tap performance.
Translation: The 2Wire design provides superior modem training capabilities; particularly important to subscribers at the edge of the DSL coverage area, or for whom you want to provide increased speed.See also

Since 2Wire's business model is not to supply to end users, there is no way for an end user to get a full manual going in to all of this.
There is no public information on the processor or memory inside the device, again, this is not something that end users typically need. As is well known, the chipset inside the 2Wire is custom silicon.
For any really keen people prepared for electronic suicide:-

FCCID: PGR2W2700RD
Chipset: Atheros AR2413A
Flash: ST NAND128W3A2BN6 (16MB?)
Ram: NANYA NT5DS16M16CS-5T (64MB?)
If anybody is interested I've found quite a bit more information but it's too far off topic here.
Kind regards,
