Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.30.0502090919380.8847-100000@swamp.bayern.net> (raw)

... a little addendum:
while the mentioned "experimental" tw_cli (2.00.00.042) provides at
least basic functionality for some controllers (I mostly use 8506-8)
it does not work at all with 8506-4 controllers (It just complains
"No controller found").
