Hi, since nowadays everything gets networked, what about UDP support?
I found a SDK on the net here, maybe this somebody can have a go with it. There is also a UDP test program in there. I don't have any UDP controllable stuff here and don't know if the program is just made for their equipment or if it is just a layer in which you can send other stuff too.
If this is the case you could just start the batchfiles from within HB
