So, this weekend just happened to be both the super bowl and my 21st birthday, so I didn't get as much as I'd hoped to done. What I did get means that either my serial setup on the monitoring PC is messed up (very possible) or else this quick hack from vt8231 isn't going to work, and I need to go back and work from v1, which I can only assume to be working.
