Unfortunately, I cannot. This guy is not a commercial dealer, he is just someone who is interested in helping us build wireless networks very cheaply by using low cost material.

So for that matter I cannot get you a catalogue. > By the way did you pay for the 'Kalango' ;-);-) This wasn't a kalango.
