Stuart - you are doing exactly what i asked about when i originated this
post - which seems to have digressed a little.

So what do i need to make my Meteor send messages and my Slimp receive them
?

That's right, Nik. There is xAP the protocol, and then there are a
large number of applications (or xAPplications if you like ;-) that
implement some function utilising the xAP protocol.

So for instance you can run a xAP application that monitors the Meteor
device plugged into some COM port. It then translates the Meteor
events into suitable xAP messages that it sends out.

Another xAP application somewhere on the network would be listening
out for messages of that format and do something with it.

On my own network my Meteor CallerID xAPplication does just that.
Another xAP app picks up the messages and sends out OSD messages.
These can then be picked up by SliMP3s, TiVos, etc. All this depends
on what software is running at the time though.

For myself I have a 'connector' application for the SliMP3 and for the
TiVo. These pick up the OSD messages and deals with each of those
hardware devices appropriately.

So there are a serious of small apps that listen/send/receive xAP
messages.

Does that help?
