Providing the licence issues are cleared up, what is wrong with what
DD-WRT is doing? How is it any different to Red Hat or Novell or whoever
taking all the hard work of free software authors and putting it in
boxes with licence fees?

There's nothing wrong with making money from open source/free software.
Granted it's better if you can do it in a way which doesn't annoy the
people doing the work, but if it does they will stop feeding you their
work and your job will be much harder. It all balances out.

Personally, I'd take HyperWRT or OpenWRT over any other firmware out there.

Bristol Wireless run their entire network on a customised OpenWRT and  
I've been using HyperWRT for years without any issues.

DD-WRT never really appealed because it doesn't (or didn't last I  
looked) do everything I need it to (ZoneEdit DynDNS for example).

Hi,

Did you try introducing yourself on the Wolves Lug mailing list? They
have a member who did a talk specifically on heart-beat, failover and
redundancy stuff.

I don't use Draw myself, but you might get some success at the
OpenOffice.org support site:

I know this will be a bit overwhelming, but many of the downloadable
documents available won't fit in the space you've got left on your
drive.

--Thank you.  I've looked at OOo suport without finding my problem.  It's
just that when I press on the points button, the submenu doesn;t come up.
