no news from x-micro. As for dell, did you check the URL's that Matt
Domsch mentioned in his email (attached to your reference). If that is
incomplete, please send a detailed additional request to Matt and me,
indicating the exact shortcomings of their offer.
But I'm dealing with about 8 other cases at the moment, leading to about
20-30 pages of paper fed back and forth to/from my lawyer, that I all
need to read and approve...
Thanks again,
Harald

That's unfortunate, I hadn't looked in detail myself, merely posted
the sources I was given. I'll inquire about this internally.

Likewise, I posted the source for the 2300 as copied from the CD
shipped in the 2300's box.
http://linux.dell.com/files/truemobile/tm2300/Linux_source_code.tar.gz
I hope you'll find this source matches, and that the 2300 is indeed in
full compliance.

I've already spun up our legal and TrueMobile engineering groups about
this again. I believe the only true outstanding issue is whether or
not the source for the 1184 matches the firmware. Please confirm.
Thanks,
Matt
