horse enduro, where we used voice to send in numbers and times as the horses
went past our check point.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

I wondered if it was possible to send the scores into HQ using
packet.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=078342807-15082006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been trowing
a few ideas around. Wondering if anyone has some comments ?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=078342807-15082006><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=078342807-15082006><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) Use LINUX and the
HQ and use packet to go straight into a mysql database</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=078342807-15082006><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) Use TCP/IP over
packet to browse to the form on the windows laptops in the field
</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=078342807-15082006><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) Make a terminal
server at HQ where people connect, leave scores and then bail
out</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=078342807-15082006><FONT face=Arial size=2>4) Using APRS
messgaing (UI) style of score sending</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=078342807-15082006><FONT face=Arial size=2>5) Just blindly
broadcast scores and HQ hears and puts in database.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=078342807-15082006><FONT face=Arial size=2>In most cases we
seem to be heading for a LINUX server at HQ, and windows laptops in the
field.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
