Hi Arlin,
    Since this is an important decision and I guess the support to r2830 
will vanish soon, I will wait
for a week. However, if you have even a development version that I can 
help test, I would be more
than happy to. In any case, as soon as you have something ready to test, 
I would like to do so.

Thanks
