Thank you. Great points, and gives me a good starting point.

Thanks for the link and quote, appreciate the help. From my searching it sounds like the FCC operates off complaints mostly, so maybe low risk if I did it. But I should be able work around this problem. I'm basically just exposing a GPIO to a RJ-45 connector, so I can access some custom hardware.

Great, thanks. And thanks for the cli paste - I had not heard of 'nc'.

thanks you. I didn't think any shared hosts would allow UDP listening, I'll look around for that.

Last time I checked, this was against appengine terms of service, has that changed?

You could at least have a greeting and some options read by a real person.

Thanks for taking the time to share. I don't really want to give up ownership of any code either, and hadn't considered some of your other ideas.

The API idea is excellent, thank you.

I've had 2 ideas already taken by the big guy who can implement stuff quick (but sloppily). I'm not doing anything that earth shattering. Their user base is hard to chip away at when they match me step for step.
