Frank,

The following is the easiest way... not the only way be any stretch,
but should be the quickest.

The main constraint is that the SliMP3 server PC must be running the
Windows software. You can have the Meteor / PACE CLI modem attached
to a linux box elsewhere on the network, though. (Or attached to the
SliMP3 server - the choice is yours.)


1: On the machine with the CLI device, install the xAP-CLI driver for
your hardware and O/S.

The three obvious ones to choose from are

- Patrick's Meteor (Windows) (requires cygwin1.dll from cygwin.com)
- Patrick's Meteor (Linux)
- James Traynor's Pace (Windows)

2: On the SliMP3 server (ie - the machine that runs your SliMP3 for
music), install the xAP-SliMP3 connector

2i: This is a .NET application, so if you don't already have it,
you'll need to install the .NET 1.1 runtime from Microsoft.com

2ii: Install the xAP Hub (from xapframework.net)

2iii: Install the SliMP3 connector application (from xapframework.net)

2iv: In the config file, insert the name of YOUR music server into
the bit where it says "server"

2v: Start the SliMP3 connector. It SHOULD tell you it found the
server and XXX SliMP3s.

2vi: Install and run the CallerID-OSD application (from
xapframework.net). This is a shim that takes CLI messages in the CLI
schema, and converts them into messages in the Display schema

Regards,

Mark
