I don't know if the code in their trunk is sufficiently Sergei> stable for us to develop againist. There is another solution: - Do 2) for one very common platform and release this as a 'lab' release. This should be enough for us to get money from Tekes. - As soon we know that #1 is a working solution and we have got people interested in testing the #1 solution, we can then go trough route #1. The benefits are that we spend less hours developing against a probably not stable protocol. Regards, Monty
