it depends on the type of content you wish to send. If your content is a *stream* of data, the 'Terminal' session is appropriate. If your content can be expressed as a *state*, better use the 'Report' session interface. In general, you should try to use the report-session interface whenever possible because it does not require the queuing of information. In contrast to streamed data, only the most recently reported state needs to be preserved. Cheers Norman -- Dr.-Ing.
