well then what about their appliance line (ex. Sofaware S-Box). it's running linux, contains an unnumbered set of kernel patches for which you get no sources, nor can you alter the binaries on its flash since the format is obfuscated and undocumented. I could never get a propper answer from them about manipulating the software there myself. I'm pretty sure that's a big nono really, but that gives them an honorable mention along with PineApp, Linux4Biz and a few others. -- Straight from the heart Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
