Hi Donald,

All the Sidewinder howto content was provided by members of the mailing 
list. I did write some additional mode config support specifically for 
the Sidewinder 6 but that was made possible by Mark Jenks who did lots 
and lots of testing against the device he managed. I don't even know if 
that code is relevant for newer versions of the Sidewinder gateways. I'm 
sorry that I can't be more help.
