The xAP Intranet Launcher (from www.mi4.biz) will honor the pic 
attribute of the display schema 
(http://www.mi4.biz/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=9).  So, 
you could pass it a different URL of an image that shows status if you 
want some more graphical way.

I would suggest just trying it out.  FWIW: It's also easy to route 
normal "speak" events to this same tray notification capability.

No idea.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to locate either one of the two that I was 
aware of (xAP Logger and xAP MSDE Logger).  That possibly means that 
they are no longer being supported.  I'll let you know if I locate them.

If you let me know what day you attempted (or try again now), then I can 
check the logs.  I assume you are sending to gregg at limings.net.
