Harald, I feel compelled to reply.  The Ethernut is my first contact w/ 
the embedded world; and I've found the tools to be excellent (I recently 
switched to the winavr package, from ICC). The mailing list to be most 
helpful; often when I've come up to a problem, I either have a saved 
copy of an email with the answer, or someone rights in about the problem 
when I'm composing my thoughts.  I throughly enjoy the fact that the 
experts on this list are always willing to help, and do so with a 
cheerful attitude.

I also truly appreciate the fact that Egnite puts out a fully assembled 
starter kit.  A lot of people I'm sure are/were in my boat; looking for 
a low cost (hobbyist class), well thought out, supported, fully 
assembled embedded ethernet controller.  In fact, I had searched for 
well over a year.  It wasn't until the July 3, 2003 article about 
Contiki running on the Ethernut that I discovered the device I was 
looking for existed!

So, all this to say that I truly appreciate all the hard work Egnite, 
Harald and everyone else has put forth!

Thanks,
dan
