I don't use any of Mark's web pages in my implementation. ECS can serve any web page
you reference, so I have a "web" directory in the ECS directory, and in that I have
my home built web pages.

So the URL to open my website is :
http://ecs:3000/web/main.htm

Notice the /web/. I have ECS setup with no password necessary (it's fairly isolated
from the internet, it can only do dialup and then it's behind a firewall.)

This used to be a problem - when ECS first started I HAD to open ECS's main page before
I could open any others, but Mark has recently fixed this allowing blank password access
to request any page.

When I want to access Mark's built in pages from mine, I just reference them directly
- like:

http://ecs:3000/messages.htm

The messages screen is about the only thing I use and I plan to rewrite that when I
can.

When I want to access the state of items or change them I utilize the java applets Mark
has developed. If you look at the built in web pages he is generating these days he's
becoming a virtual java wizard! For example, the tv-guide page has some great code examples
for setting item states, even running programs on the ECS machine from a web link. I
just cut and paste this stuff into my pages and modify it as necessary. :)
