Scott, if you are looking at reworking the config program, could you
also consider changing the .CFG file to something human-readable,
perhaps even XML or a <tag>=<value> format, so we can edit the file
with notepad without having to connect up the OT to a PC.

It might also make it easier to get around email systems that block
attachments, (*.CFG) as the config text could be included in the email body.

It would probably be a good idea to keep the ability to read the
original .CFG file structure too, so one doesn't have to enter all the
variables in by hand again...


just a suggestion...

Cheers,
