[AG-TECH] Triggering red light bulb with VIC - seriously!!!

[Grzesiek Sedek]

Hiya,
Probably the easiest would be to synchronise tcpdump with vic - once you
see outgoing udp packets on the right port and destination you are "on"
Other way to dig a source and add little piece that would write temp
file when "on"
Cheers
