Hi all, I'm currently working on a perl/tk script that controls our AP400. It's not yet finished (telco support and a few details are not completed), but already usable. We run it on our audio-capture machine, where it eats up less than 3% cpu. If you want to try it, take a look at: http://www.fz-juelich.de/scglobal/software/ regards, Thomas Bob Olson wrote:

That would be a great thing if someone wanted to do it. It's not hard, just a fairly large amount of detail to cope with to get it useful & right. There are other reasons for doing just htat, including enabling hte creation of a unified control panel application.

Ya know, all the Gentner software is doing is sending a series of text commands through a serial port.

With all the inconveniences we keep seeing with the software (OS incompatibility, CPU utilization, UI overload), I wonder if it might be useful to clearly articulate exactly what it is we need the software to do and then use a simple UI program developed in spec with the very well documented serial protocol to create an AG specific Gentner control program.
