Hmm, about 7 years ago I was working on a project of a Linux-based DSL router, 
which had a filesystem of about 1 MB in size with all the possible networking 
apps plus some custom management, control and diagnostic apps... It was also 
busybox and uclibc based, but was squash+lzma to squeeze every bit out of it.
And back then busybox didn't have all the networking tools integrated yet, as 
it has these days...
