Hi Randy,
Not off topic at all. Village Telco will still be around as a community to support the SECN firmware that Terry Gillett has developed but I have taken the difficult decision not to place any additional manufacturing orders. The reason for this is that while the sales of the Mesh Potato in its various versions has been ok i.e. we have sold a few thousand units, there was never enough sales to make Village Telco a going concern. Hardware manufacturing is a continuous process where you must be thinking about the next generation as soon as you have completed the current generation. I simply didn't have the resources to continue in a manner that ensured we stay up-to-date.
I am checking with Village Telco's manufacturing partner (Dragino) which makes the same devices but under their brand and firmware to confirm that there is another way for you to purchase the devices if you would like to.
Back to you shortly.... Steve Song
