Hi guys,

Unfortunately I'm not at all familar with MainLobby.

It does look like you've got an answer on the cinemar forums that
suggests it's possible.

I guess it probably needs me to supply an exe that'll take a channel
number directly as otherwise it'll be overly fiddly to call out to
the .exe for each digit to send - changing the exe to be like that
will be very easy though, and I'd be happy to do so.
