Gentle people,
Argus-3.0.0 has been ported to the openwrt platform, so you can
run argus on your home Netgear, Buffalo, Linksys, Belkin, etc...
routers.....   For those not familiar, check out:

    http://openwrt.org

Openwrt replaces the devices OS and is becoming a very good
platform for getting some inexpensive routers/switches.

In the argus-3.0.0.tar.gz that is now in the development directory,
there is a configure.openwrt file that does all that is needed to
make argus in the openwrt SDK.  If you try this and have
problems, please send email ASAP!!!!

For those that are not adventurous, we intend to provide an argus.ipk
which will allow you to just load up argus on your openwrt device.

Client program support will be in the final release, so you can
run ra() or ratop() on the router itself, but I like to collect the data
from openwrt devices using radium() onto another machine, so
that the data can be archived, and the analyzed.

If you do try the openwrt argus, and there are issues, don't hesitate
to send email!!!!!!!!

Hope all is most excellent!!!!!

Carter
