Graeme,

I was going to ask if you were using the X-Rite EyeOne library but looking at 
the ArgyllCMS mailing list archives I see that you are reverse engineering 
using a port sniffer.

I have an LT and I had been told by GMB that the device is the same as the 2 
and that the only difference is that their software asks the device "what are 
you" and if it is an OEM device the software will do nothing, if it is an LT 
it will provide a subset of the full functionality and if it is a 2 it will 
provide full functionality.  You can also purchase upgrade "keys" that tell 
their software this person has an LT but has upgraded to a 2.  It is also 
possible to get an upgrade from an OEM meter to either an LT or a 2.  In 
addition they sell keys that add functionality to the bundled software to, 
for example, profile scanners, cameras and projectors.

I will contact you off list about helping out with this as I would really like 
to get my LT working.  I purchased it at a time when GMB had promised me that 
they would make the EyeOne interface library available for Linux but they 
have yet to deliver on that commitment.
