If TS or Gentoo is not willing to, I'd be willing to host a moderately |
| 14 |
small website, until a larger (bandwidth) drop cold be found. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I have a single static IP and cable modem access 5M down 800k up, so |
| 17 |
we'd have to keep the design conservative on bandwidth. |

Well I'd be willing to test your work on a TS-7260. I already have a |
| 27 |
TS-5500 and have not pursued these boards any further, due to |
| 28 |
a lack of 2.6 kernel support (and access to the JTAG port). |

If you do not find satisfaction with TS or gentoo-embedded, drop me |
| 52 |
some private email. |
