Hmm, I hadn't realized that Eckhart has been working on an internal design
of his own. His has the advatage of eventually being able to leverage all
the software-side goodness of Blunt. Mine's basically a glorified wirless
modem with an AT command set...
I sent him a message to let him know what I'm working on. Maybe I can
modify my design to be Blunt compatible, or trash my design completely and
take his internal design and prototype a board for it.
Hopefully he will reply. :)
