Occasionally we get asked to do this kind of thing - we have lots of experience in the sector, and commercial work pays volunteers and generates revenue to support the project. We've partnerships with different companies meaning that even large/longterm jobs, or those that may seem beyond the scope of the project are within our means. Conversely, due to the somewhat unique nature of our organisation, small jobs are also of interest to individual volunteers. We'd be happy to be a professional service contact mentioned within your FAQs, especially concerning all matters wireless. -l _______________________________________________ Bristolwireless mailing list Bristolwireless@lists.psand.net http://lists.psand.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/bristolwireless From dan at subsubskills.co.uk Thu Jan 11 03:17:21 2007 From: dan at subsubskills.co.uk (Dan Efergan) Date: Wed Aug 27 22:18:07 2008 Subject: BW )(: One to One Technical support...

I have a Safecom.cn Guru ADSL router that I've got a hacked firmware runing on. They do a wireless version that's available from ebuyer, but I don't know if there's a wireless firmware available. I'll post a link the Firmware if I get a chance tonight, but Rhian's 40 weeks pregnant today so other things may take priority... ;) Cheers, Matt -- Matthew Macdonald-Wallace matthew@truthisfreedom.org.uk "Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodies?" _______________________________________________ Bristolwireless mailing list Bristolwireless@lists.psand.net http://lists.psand.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/bristolwireless From ben at bristolwireless.net Wed Jan 31 06:55:11 2007 From: ben at bristolwireless.net (Ben Green) Date: Wed Aug 27 22:18:07 2008 Subject: BW )(: Time to get connected In-Reply-To: <20070131144859.arxin619ck0sws8o@webmail.truthisfreedom.org.uk> References: <1169825142.45ba1d763d8f5@webmail.freedom2surf.net> <1170254626.45c0ab22954e0@www.slackmail.co.uk> <20070131144859.arxin619ck0sws8o@webmail.truthisfreedom.org.uk> Message-ID: On Wed, 31 Jan 2007 14:48:59 -0000, Matthew Macdonald-Wallace wrote: > I have a Safecom.cn Guru ADSL router that I've got a hacked firmware runing on.
