Since my C skills suck, I'll move on to the next one, for which I thought
of
an "alpha" solution.

Tony Toft has already done most of the work with the Rio to get it to
accept/send xPL commands.

I'm thinking of grapping their OCX, and Stuarts framework, and bodging
together a xPL/xAP converter, albeit for this schema only. That way I could
send a xAP Message, and this program could grab it, create the appropriate
xPL message, and dump it to the Rio. And, on the flip side, if this program
hears a xPL message from the Rio, it can create the corresponding xAP
message and dump it onto the wire.

I just realized I used the word Bodge in a regular sentence... damn 'Scrap
Heap' or whatever you guys call Junkyard Wars over there. (Go Nosher!)

Anyway, I'll report back with progress... I guess I've got to get Tony's
software running first.
