Hi all. I have the T4Win setup up and running beautifully. I have a Motorola Spectra with a discriminator tap that is always getting 100%. I have found myself wanting to play with this and customize it to my liking... The major drawback with this: I don't know C++ to mess with this program's source code. So here's my brilliant idea:

Why couldn't the devoloper of T4Win make a "mini-program", or whatever you wanted to call it that is simply a stripped down version, that has a network protocol built into it? The purpose of this network protocol is that it allows one to write another application in his or her own language (VB6 for me!) and talk to the "mini-program". The reason I would like to have this mini program is because interfacing to the soundcard and decoding data is a tough one for me. But, if this little program simply listened to the audio commin in to the PC, decoded it into a stream of data, and spit it out to any open network connections, the possibilities would be LITERALLY ENDLESS! You could also have it temporarily save the info until it is called for through the connection. That way you request whatever info you want to keep the traffic down on the network...

Network connections can obviously be used locally on the same machine, by calling address 127.0.0.1 (just a reminder :wink: ).

Personally, my application would include leaving this Mini-Program running on my server since it's always on, and connecting to it using my laptop when the laptop's on. This way I can have a little window with whatever information I want to put in.

Just an idea, but I think it's worth pursuing (hint hint) to open MANY doors for us here... -Brett W
