I was going to have a go at this, but I'm not sure I have enough time to spare 
any more.  They've got back to me recently so I thought I'd better ask around 
the list again if anyone else is interested.  I might buy one myself to 
tinker with (it does look like a nice device), but I guess the test device is 
still available.

Cheers,
Alex
