The document you need is the "Escient External Control
Protocol" which is accessed via RS232 or TCP/IP.

The External protocol you and they refer to is the communication language that talk to their proprietary software loaded into the Linux operating system in their servers Machines. The real challenge is to get their software so you can install it into the MCE machines we want to control. I believe that is the application you are working on (see next paragraph).
I am almost done writing an app that allows my TSU-9600
control Windows Media Player and its Music Library; the
app acts as a "middle man" (following the escient protocol
specification) between the TSU-9600 and Windows Media
Player - perfect.

The app even has a built in HTTP server so that the Pronto
can ask for Cover Art and the app will extract it from
the MP3 files.

I hope you are successful with the application. I will look foward to when I get the remote. Please keep us post it!
Live Long and Prosper!
