I'm not sure what Keith's plans are - at Hatfield he certainly
expressed a keen interest in xAP, and I offered him whatever
assistance he needed to get up and running.
As it stands today the switcher doesn't have a real ethernet
interface AIUI, although I imagine there are plans to include one in
the finished product. It is a few hours work for me to create a
personality for the rabbit board I have that xAP enables the switcher
via its serial interface and provide standalone xAP support.

I thought that's how they wrote it! Oh dear, I'll have to go and
check...

There's certainly a fair bit of (unnecessary?) hostility. Personally
I'd like to see the two communities getting along...
