Twenty three days and a couple of thousand dollars later, the hardware device arrives :).
Anyways, I have to clear some more hurdles before which I can actually begin to use it.
a) I need a 15A switch and not the 5A switch that I have in the office at the moment :(. So I will have to ask our electrician to come do some magic here. This might take atleast a week considering that I am going out on a long vacation starting this weekend.
b) I am not sure if they have a device driver and SDK that works on Windows Vista. If they dont then I am in big trouble !. Or I would have to get RHEL4 installed on my computer to make use of the device.
Once the above minor hurdles have passed, I need to make sure that we are on schedule in delivering what we have to deliver on the basis of this hardware. Lets see.. hope for the best !
