Re: [Announce]: How to access Experimental Test Tree

["Ian McDonald" <ian.mcdonald@jandi.co.nz>]

Hi there Gerrit,

Thanks for these instructions. Very helpful. Unfortunately the
alternative way didn't work for me but the others did just fine.

Your tree looks very good when compiled as a whole. It passes all my
tests on CCID3 - the first time I've had this occur in ANY tree. Well
done! I'm going to post the results on the OSDL wiki soon - in
particular it passed tests at full speed over a routed link.
