I did this a while back by calling functions in the spirit.ocx from an ASP
page.  I used it to control a webcam I made with an RCX and an old QuickCam.
I ran it with Personal WebServer on a '95 box and IIS4.0 on my NT Server,
but perhaps you can use it with ChiliASP under Apache ?  I'll post my code
to .tele if anyone is interested.  There's an old thread there where I was

I apologize if this question has been asked and answered, but searching
through this group did not provide a solid answer.

Can this be done.. I have a linux box running as a webserver. I would like • to
plug the IR unit to the serial port and be able to control the RCX from a • CGI
program. I was looking at the RCX perl module, but would like to use NQC • for
RCX control and programing. Is there any way of doing this.

Essentially remote control of the RCX from a website. The goal would be to
have a robot arm that could be controled from anywhere over the internet,
using a custom little web interface and a webcam to view the action.

Any ideas, or sugestions on where to start with the control part of this.

Thanks a bunch

Chris
