That is not how my network is configured. The app is itself under
continuous development, with an average of 2 updates a week.

That is beginning to sound like a worthwhile effort. But difficult when
the names are all thats available in the README. Which I'll quote from
here in case the publicity helps.
"Many Thanks from Jacob Bogenschutz (bogie6040) to the following:
Norbert Schechner (newbynobi)
Fernand Veilleux (FernV)
Slavko Kocjancic (eslavko)
They deserve all the credit, I just tweeked on they're stuff and put it
together."
Just in case one of them is reading this list.. :)
