What daemon should I be using? I see dccm, vdccm, odccm referred to.

As I haven't installed RAKI what should I use to connect? Mark, thanks for your patience. If you think I need to read something please let me know... just that info on WinCE is a bit specialized and hides in odd threads & postings. Eg I probably should have known that the svn packages weren't for WinCE 03 devices but just never found that essential detail even after much searching.
