   They are importers, and distributors to the trade, and are trying to find
information for the manufacturers. The manufacturers are happy to supply
almost anything required, but would like to know the configuration
requirements, (they will probably want to supply the relevant drivers).
   Before you ask, I have requested that ALL the manufacturers they deal
with shall be asked about Open Source drivers for the kit. The answer may
initially be no, but the question may sow some seeds. The company is run by
brothers who do have intelligence, they are using BSD, and do want to learn
more about Linux.
