-The original PMON code base is rather old now, supports relatively few boards and is not being actively worked on by a single project team. [[PMON 2000]] has become the unofficial successor of PMON.  Everything about the PMON 2000 site is shaky at best.  An updated version promised in March of 2005 never materialized.  The knowledgebase is a joke and the documentation is a mixed bag.  The runtime docs are good, but the instructions for configuring and building PMON 2000 aren't.  They mention a "pmoncfg" tool but the source code contains no such tool.  CVS access is supposed to be available but is not.
