Thanx for the hint. Will try this.

It client/server communication is already prepared to give clients rights to 
execute server commands directly, e.g. configuration commands or "start". But 
most of this isn't implemented yet. But it should be easy to find out how to 
play by reading the help.

Yes. The serialization and deserialization is really difficult. But I think 
it's not impossible to use other languages which can deal with bytes and 
bits, and convert the received bytes to int8, int16 etc. But I admit that 
this is not a nice protocol to have many different types of clients, written 
in various languages, especially weakly-typed scripting languages like Python.
But again, that was not my intention.

cheers
