That is the case for the UCT Toaster: see
http://wiki.clug.org.za/wiki/Freedom_Toaster and
http://toaster.clug.org.za/public/distros.php

However all other toasters including the one at Canal Walk are
maintained by various other people and companies including Breadbin
Interactive. There aren't broadband connections - people generally
take a portable hard drive to update them.
