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




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
