wellll.... Perhaps running something REXEC or RSH to call up the iccapi, then capture the output in your windows app. Dont know your choice of windows tools for this, but this scenario could well be done inside a VB app. In fact a few years ago a fellow saw the RCC we were puting together (Remote Control Config - its on the web site) and decided he needed to build one, too. His does exactly that; opens what would normally be a terminal session with VB6, routes commands to it from the App, and iccapi output from it to the App. Works quite well, and requires no separate piece of software on the AP/AW. Downside is that it relies on the login type of security, and login sessions may not always be available to a PC. Regards, William C. Ricker FeedForward, Inc.
