Great suggestion - I develop h/w & s/w for remote systems, and I too was looking for a workaround. Ideally if the inet connection (remote & host) its protocol usage & data breakdown were to be freely published it would result in many more sales of the digitech & variants plus easier specialised development which could be available for all users.
I use Linux exclusively (Android is Linux effectively) and all Apps are thus easy to develop/debug/commission. Personally having used Windows since inception 3.01; through to Win95 - I suffered enough being a tech support donkey. Linux was my saviour since 2.4 kernel and there was no looking back
Thanks G
