- Comment by RoDent: The cutting edge Sveasoft stuff is normally available from http://slashdot.org/~TheIndividual/journal/ Strictly speaking Sveasoft's software can never be sold, since it's based off GPL software. The $20 is for "support". Of cours that's just hogwash.

+ [Sveasoft|http://www.sveasoft.com/] sells custom firmware for this device that allows access alot of the functionality that is built into it, but just not available through the web interface in the standard firmware. (actually selling is an incorrect term, since the code is all GPL. They sell support for the firmware, you can download the firmware freely, but typically you can't get hold of the CuttingEdge stuff without a subscription)
