Since nobody else has chipped in: I looked at that a year or so ago, and I think at the time I concluded that older versions might work but that no effort was being made to keep it running. At that point the PSU went in Octane #1, and Octane #2 started tripping the main breaker... I suggest trying it to see what happens, but my experience with older systems suggests that you /might/ be better off with nothing newer than Lenny. /Please/ keep us updated on how you get on. -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues]
