I found a way to do it. Might not be the most efficient but it works.
I run this on my laptop.
ngrep '' udp port 6948|osd_cat -p middle -c yellow -f -adobe-helvetica-bold-*-*-*-34-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Whoo hoo it works.
The only thing left to do is fire up sed and strip out all the xml stuff.

I'm on a new track now.
Using netcat I can do this.
netcat listen for UDP on port 6948.

nc -l -u -p 6948
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mythnotify version="1"><container name="notify_cid_info"><textarea name="notify_cid_line"><value>LINE #1</value></textarea><textarea name="notify_cid_name"><value>NAME: JOE SCHMOE</value></textarea><textarea name="notify_cid_num"><value>NUM : (301) 555-1212</value></textarea><textarea name="notify_cid_dt"><value>DATE: 11/3 TIME: 10:8</value></textarea></container></mythnotify>

Spits out the XML that is broadcast. Now all I have to do is strip out the name and number and send it to osd right. Nope..... It only works for the first connection. I have to restart netcat after each time.

>From the man page
"-u Use UDP instead of TCP. On most platforms, nc will behave as if
             a connection is established until it receives an ICMP packet
indicating that there is no program listening to what it sends."



Now I have to figure out a way for netcat to start listening again.
getting there slowly but surely.
