[AG-TECH] New Gentner Software

[Thomas Eickermann]

Hi all,

I'm currently working on a perl/tk script that controls our AP400.
It's not yet finished  (telco support and a few details are not
completed),
but already usable.
We run it on our audio-capture machine, where it eats up less than 3%
cpu.
If you want to try it, take a look at:

regards,
Thomas
