long time ago (2011) ... I've got a tar of it, but OI has changed a lot in that time, I haven't actually tried to connect to it in a while
I said (a while back) that I would have a go and see if I can a compile of the latest version when I had time, and it kinda got forgotten about. It was a real hack though, I manually modified the Makefiles and ran some of the compile lines by hand to make sure it picked up the system libraries, I wanted to spend time getting it to work with less effort.
