First, I should note that most of the work was done by Marc Frajola (marc@dev.com) and David Greenman. My contribution was the configuration utility. The 2.x stuff is something we've been talking about; in particular, to fix the bug I mentioned, and to use the compressed binaries to get more features onto it. The ones you mention are good ones, and I'd also like to see password protected dialin and expect driven dialout (in order to get through the login sequence on the remote end). Given the size of expect, my thought was to have the init script try to mount a second floppy and enable those features if the right one is there. > I'd like it to be read-only (i.e. preconfigured, to restore all you do is > hit reset). The current one is read-only until you change the configuration; it then strongly encourages you to reboot in order to go back to read-only mode. That may be something that 2.x might also offer --- being able to switch back to read-only mode dynamically. Haven't looked into that, or don't remember doing so... > If you are interested in seeing what I've done, please feel free to do so. > It is by no means complete or finished..
