yes - it is not a straightforward device. It also took +1 month to arrive.
It requires quite some userland daemons, plus hardware keys and other
things.

I've not yet been able to get it going, but I've also not spent that much
time on it.

Will let you know once I do.

I had hoped it would be simpler, but it comes with a DVD with several
daemons on it.
