Hi John,

I have not gotten SWAP to work on old hardware yet.  I started messing
with it and got it to boot, but still had some driver issues.

Regrading prices for the soekris boxes, a full write-up is at
<http://sssg1.whoi.edu/swap/hardware.html>.  Be careful about the SMC
cards.  Last I looked antenna prices have come down.  The link has some
example configurations.

Looks like an in-doors install runs about $615.

If you need more info, let me know.
