See the first line of http://www.earth.li/%7Enoodles/files/delta.boot (linked from http://www.earth.li/~noodles/hardware-e3.html).

Hi, Bought an E3 back in 2008 Not done much with it till now. Wanted to start developing on it again but the files on the ftp server are only up to 2.6.19 and muru only has upto 2.6.27. Can anyone provide me with the latest kernel patch / buildroot config files?

I've got an amstrad emailer em2001uk that is locked up and unusable - 'Hold down (email) button to restore service', so I'm here as a beginner to see what I can do about it. All I want is to use it as an ordinary phone. I know my way a bit around a linux pc if that helps. Thanks for any advice.
