Fw: [linrad] Second operator

["Sigurd Kimpel" <sigurd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I also would think the broadcasting of data from the primary computer to one
or more computers by using  "sockets", as suggested by another e-mail, would
be a good approach.  It would allow more flexability in how the secondary
computer might process the A/D data.
