I understand there may or may not be a client/server relationship...

John's xPL client will listen on the ethernet for commands & data to
pass to the LPT port.

Mister House needs to send the data to the client. I get this...

I know I will need some help with the mh pa_control.pl to get room
support doing this MY way, etc.

Gregg you seem to know much on both the xPL and the mh side of
things. John will, hopefully, write the client. Any chance you could
help with the mh side???

My Halloween deadline looms. I'm purchased *ALL* the hardware...

Thanks again,
