[Commotion-discuss] [Commotion-dev] seeking input - what additional routers should Commotion support?

[Dan Staples]

I'm very interested in the MeshPotato v2. Steve Song said he'd hook us
up with some last year but that never materialized, probably because it
was still in development. I'm especially interested in them because they
include an analog telephony adapter.
