Re: New User questions re Hardware interface and what protocol.

[Tom Van den Panhuyzen <tomvdp@xxxxxxxxx>]

But Kevin, as an xAP and xPL user you are in an excellent position to
comment on the differences between xAP and xPL and even indicate where
Ian was wrong.
I stumbled on xPL because I was looking for a usable CM11 interface...
So I started using xPL.  Only recently I heard of xAP.  I was really
hoping this thread would point out the main differences.  We are all
technical people here, so let's keep it technical.

Regards,
Tom
