I think it should work with any       TIC processor that can process incoming files and forward them on to downlinks.        Once it's in the wild, people can try it out. :) It does, however, require a       system with the BASH shell.. :-)               AI> Thanks ago for your help.. :)              Likewise, thanks to all involved - Alan, Maurice, etc. :)                     ...
