Linux connection to 5500CN

[mathew]

I currently have a network interface (5500CN) to my cbus network, which I am talking to from a windows xp box.

I would like to be able have a service on a linux server which talks to the 5500CN. Is it possible? I'd prefer to program in java if possible.

What are you talking to it with on the XP Box?

Cheers

You can run C-Gate on Linux. C-Gate is a Java application.

If you run C-Gate, you can write other Java applications to make socket connection(s) to C-Gate and do whatever neato stuff you want.

Worth remembering that you can only open 1 connection to a CNI at any given time. If you're connected to it via a Linux box (or any other box) then you won't be able to simultaneously use your XP box.
