What alternatives to cgminer are there for the R-Box? I mine other sha256 currencies, and the new versions of cgminer (the ones that support the R-Box) are Bitcoin only.

BFGminer works with the R-Box, but is buggy. It doesn't go over 32GH/s and there seems to be more hardware error with it, too. Sometimes it dies for no apparent reason, and there is some voodoo involved in even getting it to start.

What other options are there? I prefer command line miners, because my mining server is a really low-horsepower laptop. (That's why I love it, it uses very little power, but I can't run lots of graphical doodas while I'm mining.)
