I recently finished doing that, everything except for the encryption,
which I'm having problems getting to work.. I've replicated the perl
method of doing it using MCRYPT, and have been waiting for quite a while
to get a response back from tucows about what might be wrong.

I also wish they would've just used a SSL or SSH connection, so I
could've just setup a secure socket to tunnel to their machine. I had
been told before that they would be using SSL, so I had finished coding
to the point that my client was fully functional, and I created an SSL
tunnel on our network to their server when they changed the SRS
protocol, and implemented the encryption system they use now.

No docs that I've found. I just port sniffed the connections to figure
out the protocol... didn't even reference the perl until I reached the
point of doing encryption.

I'm not aware that such a thing exists. I would recommend doing
EVERYTHING on a UNIX box for a project like this... it just makes more
sense.

Again, I recommend doing it all on a UNIX box... worst case senario, you
could probably get a cheap UNIX hosting account and do the development
from their... just check what libs, etc that the host supports.
If ya have any major questions, let me know. I'm not at liberty to hand
over code or anything (unless you had something big to offer in return),
but I could probably help answer some questions if ya run into any major
stumbling blocks.
