I remember discussing this briefly, but I don't think we ever came up with
a final "spec" for the feature.  Here are the issues I forsee:

1) The IR tower times out.  NQC should probably do something to keep it
alive - and that "something" should be as minimal as possible so as not to
clobber *too much* incoming data.

2) How should the receive data be formatted?  Raw serial bytes?  Raw
packet payload (strip out header, complements, and checksum)?  Should it
actually walk into the packet and only show the RCX "messages"?

3) Does this really belong in NQC, or should it be a separate executable?
The NQC command line is getting a bit unwieldy due to everything I've
crammed into it.

Thoughts?

Dave
