Ooh... now that would be nice.

Hmm... TCP seems like it would need a networkable version of Sloup. Is
the dock protocol documented anywhere?

I hear you on that.
Personal note... one thing I'd love to see would be compatibility with
NOS 1.3 devices. If I understand Sloup correctly, it would be a matter
of having the correct version of Sloup on the MP and requesting/sending
the correct subset of information from/to the various soups. (Steve, am
I missing something here?) If so, it would be a big productivity kick
for the oldest MP's.
