Hi folks:
	we have some good news to share. over the republic day
weekend we got the first simputer working inside its box
with its own battery pack. linux and X, as well as the audio
part are now in good shape. pending items are: smartcard driver,
higher-speed modem (currently 2400 baud is up), a few glitches
in IR reception, USB slave driver, and power management.
check out www.simputer.org for the details and some pictures.

regards,
manohar
