Last I heard someon= e=20 had gotten problematic HT1000 hardware in to sos@'s hands and he was going = to=20 find a fix, however I stopped paying attention when I started migrating off= =20 the hardware. There are tons of mailing list posts from myself and others = if=20 you want the full scoop, as well as at least one open PR. =2D-=20 Thanks, Josh Paetzel PGP: 8A48 EF36 5E9F 4EDA 5A8C 11B4 26F9 01F1 27AF AECB --nextPart22809884.lAmkUhKQvO Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHzStvJvkB8SevrssRAtSFAKCYzcW51PTJBEk6AFpu4MYub9gsewCdGsav Kj48Iaj6zRTiAz1YjPa6M6w= =iJhO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart22809884.lAmkUhKQvO--
