Interesting. I found Kurt McCullum's mcomm for android and windows and
even a version for python for linux . I unpacked the .deb file and after
a bit of sorting out dependencies, got it running on my mac:
python mcomm.py
mComm 1.20

Cool - kinda like a python dlplus... Is this the same mcomm you're
referring to? Is there a man page somewhere?
Thanks,
Will
