Hmm...

May be time to post/swap some code :)

I'm working in PHP on some stuff and have a status/control
page that can:
- Group to specific rooms
- send commands to a Ocelot/ADICON devices via a CGI URL in
   an IFrame (read: no full screen refresh)
- Gets dynamic updates (using tattler as base code) from
   devices in the network and refresh status/timestamp on
   the screen (read: no full screen refresh)

I am finishing up getting my HVAC, Napco, Ocelot, and ADICON
stuff to broadcast updates via UDP (XML encoded) and a program
that listens for the UDP messages, manages a state table, and
forward messages to the browser (TCP, simple delimited).

It is just a beginning and rather simple... I've spent more time
researching style sheets and Java Applets (good books are hard
to find!)

There is still some stuff I don't have completely worked out
but I can put it up...

Obviously you can't do anything and you don't get status messages. (I hope ;)
