["Mark Harrison" <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

Here you go:

- Get the content your want to transmit :-)

- Build the message as follows:

      - Datasource
      - ASCII 10
      - Instance (should be user-configurable in
the plugin setup)
      - ASCII 10
      - Keyname (plugin-specific)
      - ASCII 10
      - Keyvalue (plugin-specific)
      - ASCII 10
      (you can then repeat Key/Value pairs, but
they MUST be paired)

      The keyname "NetworkID" is
reserved

- Open a TCP session

- Open a socket to 255.255.255.255 on port 1739

- Send the message on it

Cunning eh?
