Nice Canadians, $200 US for a unit without a drive. Very linuxy. Unfortunately, it has no serial ports, so debugging is pretty limited. I can donate network access to one, and can loan you one for the duration of your work on it. If you want network access, email me an ssh key off-list, or if you want one to put your hands on, email me an address off-list. > Even with hardware, it would probably be at least > a month before I had time to look at it.

Beggars can't be choosers, so any time you donate to this project would be appreciated by me anyway. -- Alec Kloss [EMAIL PROTECTED] IM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP key at http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA241980E "No Bunny!" -- Simon, from Frisky Dingo
