Mike,
	I'm thrilled to hear you are interested, especially after a narrow 
minded, petty PAT tester told me it wasn't worth doing. Apparently 
because a commercial product exists that is perfectly good it is 
pointless to create this project, and also that nobody he does business 
with uses Linux. I pointed out to him that I was hurting nobody by 
trying and that actually everyone he does business with uses Linux and 
so does he. 'You do have a router, don't you?'

Besides, why shouldn't my software become better than the perfectly good 
stuff? *huff*
