Fred, The beacon has undergone extensive development in the last few months. You can get the latest version here: http://dast.nlanr.net/projects/Beacon/
Mitch Kuzko has done a lot of work on it. I've installed a few of the most recent versions and the INSTALL and README files are very straightforward. Give it a try and let me know if you need a hand...
