ISPSuite is a suite of modular programs written principally in PHP and

they have the opportunity to upload images and html files into the
public directory.

changes:
This is a major upgrade which includes changes to the configuration
files, customisation of interfaces, some cosmetic changes, new modules
integrated into the suite including daily banking, mass e-mail, and

audio file types (MP3, wav, and sid). It is one of the very few mp3

cameras, and other devices.

changes:
The path for the stat files was changed to avoid a possible exploit in
/tmp. The main stat file path was changed to /usr/share to conform to
the LSB. Memory bugs that creeped in due to a bad CVS were fixed, and
