Introduction
------------

eb1150 is a program that allows the eBookWise/GemStar 1150 to access personal and public content servers.
The program runs as daemon and acts as a network proxy for the device.  

I would like to thank Igor Izyumin <igor@mlug.missouri.edu> for his REBComm software.  His code served as an basis for this implementation.

READ THIS
--------- 
eb1150 must be run as root in order for it to have access to the USB bus.  It should never be made setuid on a shared system, since it is a huge security risk.  
The best option is to set up the permissions for /proc/bus/usb to permit writing for regular users, but this is difficult to do.  
The gphoto2 project has some documentation on how to do this.

Installation
------------

This program installs using the standard procedure:

./configure
make
make install

Please note that you need to have libUSB installed.  It is available from
[http://libusb.sourceforge.net/].  It should also be available on the CD of
your Linux distribution as an installable package (probably called libusb).  
In that case, be sure to install the development package as well
(libusb-devel).  There have been some changes to libusb.  
If eb1150 doesn't work, make sure you have at least version 0.1.10a

Usage
-----

This program must be run with superuser privileges (as the 'root' user).  To
become root, use the command 'su'.

Syntax:
eb1150 [-h hostname]

-h hostname:  Used to specify an address for a personal content server.  
   	      If the -h option is not specified, the device connects to it's default internet server
