knc1,

That is some yacht and I agree it is more like a small ship. A 23 foot bow puts it in ice-breaker territory!

Voice recognition is way beyond me. I have to learn to crawl before I can stand-up or walk and run. I am finding this Kindle thing pretty damned hard but I am slowly making progress.

I found the post by Tronar on this page https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...161284&page=10 kept the wifi connected when in diagnostics mode and that I was able to indefinitely read the data using nc (netcat). However, I could not find a way to read it using Python which is maybe a skill issue since if nc (which I believe is Python based anyway) can read it I should be able to also.

I tried various ways to port this procedure to the main system but failed every time and I ended up bricking the Kindle. Got it back thanks to Kubrick.

I see that lookout is making some progress using a web page server to emulate the Amazon server response to the Amazon 'phone check'. In my system I have a small Wifly based server that is feeding a small number of devices in UDP mode (Ipads, Iphones, etc) and eventually the Kindle. It is a closed data system and will never be connected to the internet. It occurs to me that I may be able to set up the Wifly so that it has the same ip address as the Amazon check page and then serve out the Amazon html response page on receiving any incoming byte. As the UDP is one way only, that would cause a short outgoing data blip only when a new device logs into the system which would be infrequent. Does this sound crazy?
