I'll tell you that using wine to run soldat admin is a drag on linux, so I thought i might make a web-based version in PHP. It should be fairly easy to do.

But, is there any documentation on the various procediers for logging in, sending text, etc... I know how sockets work, but I don't want to go packet sniffing if there isn't a need to.

Any suggestions?

There's already a PHP soldat admin client (http://mar77a.llsc.us/osa/)
as well as several Java clients that would work too.

The PHP soldat admin client will probably make your server load go way up though.

Joy.
