In search of RLX blade software

[Monty McGraw]

Camiel,

I worked at RLX and found a PIII blade with hard disk.  I captured the
entire disk image, but it is 5GB gzipped.  I don't have a fileshare big
enough to post the image.  Do you have a dropbox or something?

I checked with some of my old coworkers at RLX, we don't have any of the
rpms.
