Re: Comedi over a network + CORBA/XML

Comedi over a network is the right direction. Personally I would like to
have some PHP-functions which access comedi so that I can have look at
data coming from physical devices and directly generate a web-page. Here
in Bochum they would need such a thing for remote monitoring of patient
data.

I also would welcome an XML interface which goes in the same direction. A
standard API for web-based applications.

Re USB: it works pretty well. The ECG practical here is now powered by a
USB DAQ device which comedi. USB2.0 seems to be no problem. I'm just
working on that.
