Today's rev is A2.00 but does NOT fix the hanging problem.
If you have the typical symptoms the SWC will answer a ping
but not download the scripts. Some people have put their SWC
on remote rebooting devices. A couple of creative folks have
put their SWC on an appliance timer so the box will get power
cycled a couple of times a day.
