I had a look to your server implementation and it looks very promising. 
As you say, its success will be a question of motivation from 
contesters. Anyway, great job !

1/ You must have enabled the network in the setup dialog (ethernet 
groupbox) with adapted parameters. This will ensure network frames (UDP) 
to be sent.

2/ You must check the "time master" checkbox in the contest config. 
dialog - this machine only will send score data in a networked environment.

3/ You must set the repeat time of the data sending by right clicking in 
the summary wnd (Alt-S) and choose an appropriate period.

I know Pascal F5LEN is working on such an interface, but I don't know if 
it will be ready for the CQWW SSB. I will send him a private copy of 
this mail for you to get in touch with him.
