Not a problem, as I said elsewhere. In fact, I prefer using TFTP to 
lots of messing around with config tools, or running special software 
to interface to the unit in normal operation.

I was actually under the impression that the Jeeni would be just as 
expensive as the BDI2000, but perhaps I was thinking about the Majic?

What exactly is involved in setting up the unit, and how do you operate 
it? (Again, I do like the idea of not having to run any software 
besides GDB in order to talk to the hardware.)
