Very close.   I can't give you an exact date right this second, as there are 
too many moving parts which all have to come together.  I'm going through and 
doing all the validation work at this point and cleaning up anything I find.   
I'm guessing the week or two after WISPAMERICA at this point but it could slide 
another couple weeks as a result of the challenges in obtaining raw materials 
right now. 
  
I ended up spending a couple of months back in November/December figuring out 
that the SNMP code that we've been using for years (including in the 
RackInjector) wasn't going to work for the SiteMonitor 3.  And then trying and 
then giving up on a couple of alternative SNMP stacks.  After the holidays, I 
ended up writing an SNMP stack from scratch and that triggered some other code 
changes since there were some architecture decisions I made to attempt to get 
around the shortcomings in the original SNMP stack which weren't valid anymore. 
 Made things a lot nicer/easier, but it was work getting it there.   February 
has been all about getting the work done I expected to be doing in November and 
December.   

At this point it's mostly about doing the final release process and then doing 
integration with the Automatic Test.   Once that is done and I've 100% verified 
that the board design I have is good, we'll order production boards. There is a 
chance that I'll end up having to do an additional (minor) board revision 
during this process.  Normally if that happens, I'll typically order 10 or so 
of the new design to verify I didn't screw something up in the process of 
fixing whatever was broken, but in this case, I'll increase the order to 
whatever is pre-ordered so I can at least get those out.

Of course like anything with a schedule the crap could hit the fan and this 
schedule goes out the window.

I will be doing a walkthough of the new devices in the PacketFlux session on 
thursday afternoon.
