Hi Brett!

Opn-max could indeed be ported to your platform very easily. Then its
a matter of extending the code with RS232 comms I guess. Opn-max also
has a Perl interpreter embedded into the application so that any xAP
BSC event can trigger a Perl script. The part where I feel more proud
is the event manager. This engine allows the definition of events from
a simple web page.

Anyway, feel free to contact me if you need some help.

Regards,

Daniel.
