This page describes complete applications for the Linksys NSLU2. We intend moving a number of the existing HowTo pages here, where they describe how to get a well-known application to run on the slug. Note that this section is firmware-agnostic, and should describe fully-integrated solutions (i.e. ipkgs with sample configuration files and instructions on how to complete the installation and configuration), rather than just being a description of the contents of an Optware package (for instance). Applications designed specifically for a slug should be placed on the Custom page.

You can also search for packages using the Optware find tool(approve sites).

• AlarmSlug: Ser2Sock interfaces with Ademco AD2USB keypad emulator to send commands and receive alerts from the alarm system.
