Hey!  Do I get a prize or something!!??

No problem about the hassle.  I am glad actually that it was not me after
all!!  I noticed that someone (I guess it was your ip address) was trying to
gain access).

It is interesting how your program works with the es1400.  It appears to
send one command at a time because the transmit light flashes repeatedly
whereas the enerlogic software sends a stream (the light is on constantly
during transmission).

Is there a way that I can send a command to the es1400 using your program.
I may have mentioned that the power fail light flashes constantly after a
power failure and the enerlogic software has an option to clear it.  Can
this be sent via your program directly?

I am getting comfortable with the program.  Given that I am from Canada, how
can I pay?  Do you take Visa or not?  Or money order?  I would appreciate
some details.

I will look for the new release.

Hi Joe,
I have just verified that you have found a BUG.
I will be uploading the new release shortly (today).
Thanks for the reports, and sorry for the hassle.

NOTE: The current manual states that you can use astericks
for single digits (e.g. "127.12*.0.1"). This will NOT be the
case in the new release, in which an asterisk may be used
only to replace the whole "value" (e.g. "127.*.0.1").
