for some reason http://cuwireless.net brings up an empty page.  but, 
some direct links seem to work ...

In

> http://cuwireless.net/downloads/developersguide

I see that the svn command is:

>svn co file:///var/svn/cuw
>
Is there a network version of this command?  Or how would you recommend 
I get the source? (I have already downloaded 
cuwin-0.6.0-main-src.tar.bz2 from sourceforge).

Secondly, the developersguide also lists a bunch of commands to pull 
from your (David Young) home directory.  Do I need those?  Are they 
posted anywhere?

WRT cuwin not on linux, perhaps someone can tell me what this is ...

Looks like a linux kernel and while I can't pull up the refering page 
now (cuwireless.net wonky), I'm pretty sure it was advertised as a cuwin 
distro.

The docs under the cuwin-0.6.0-main-src/src directory are a bit slim.  
It's hard to distinguish the mesh components from the others.  
Interdependencies are not documented.  The bsd makefiles are not there.

As an educated guess, to get hsls compiled I'll also need the log, misc 
and mk directories.  Anything else?  Will I also need the ssrv beacon 
thing?  I don't see any man pages on hslsd.  Is it a RTFS thing?

Do you have a contact at telcordia?

thanks much
