I think the list has the details, somewhere.
I seem to remember a posting along the lines of "this has got close enough that we're not going to give more details, because we don't want to annoy Amstrad, but anyone with enough clue might be able to take it from here".
I don't believe the actual steps needed were ever publicly posted (but I'd be happy to be pointed at a correction if I'm wrong).

You need to send a packet that hashes to a specific value to enable any of the fun pbl functionality.
Is that "specific value" generic, or device-specific?
Antony.
