You can see this work just our simple TV Remote program which comes with CDJ.

>How well does it work?
It works the same for all other clients as it does for CDJ.  Everything CDJ 
does you can do too.

>What devices are you controlling?
Anything the slink-e can control you can control for your own 
program.  This includes all Control-A1,A2,S and all IR send and receive and 
the x10.  In addition you can do interprocess communication between 
different clients.  For instance CDJ send out notifications about whta it 
is doing and can receive commands to tell it do things.  Your programs can 
do the same type of thing.

>Do either of the COM servers (Slink-e or CDJ) fire COM events?
CDJ actually isn't a COM server.  The SlinkeServ COM object fires an events 
for every command or response for any devices which you attach to.  This 
means that you can potentially see any kind of traffic that you like.  This 
includes ir tx/rx, slink tx/rx, x10 and the interprocess messages like the 
ones cdj sends.

The basic gist of all this is that the Slink-e with SlinkeServ creates a 
completely extensible open architecture system.
