I've just spoken to Dave Tyson -- we might be interested in one each
(depending on price), provided that it would work on our electricity
(240V, 50Hz).  We are both in the process of wiring our respective
houses for ethernet, and the Iopener looks like it would make a neat
portable terminal.

But if it's 110V only, that would be a show-stopper.
