I have 2 PH systems. I would like what I announce using TTS on one system do the same on the other. Currently I do a WriteFile using DCC to the other system with the data and TTS from that file. There must be a slicker way without getting too complicated..

If you have the web server running on the second one, just use something like this from the primary machine...
ph_geturl("http://phmachine2/ph-cgi/evalformula?formula=ph_t ts('your announcement')")

I don't have the web server running. I was doing something real rudimentary like:
ph_ssrequest("192.168.1.101", 8500, "chc", "test", "FORMULA", 'ph_tts("The incoming call")' )
ph_writefile("p:\chc_cid", 1, ph_getglobal_s("cid_name")) + ph_ssrequest("192.168.1.101", 8500, "chc", "test", "FORMULA", 'ph_tts(" is FROM ") + ph_tts(ph_readfile("c:\powerhome\chc_cid"))' )

Pete,
If you've got 2 PowerHome systems running, they can just communicate back and forth to each using the Socket Server with no need to involve the DCC. Just enable the socket server on the receiving system and then use a phssrequest formula on the sending system such as you've got above. The DCC is really only intended to be a very slimmed down, "dumb" version of PowerHome.
The DCC is also capable of doing TTS all by itself. You could have multiple DCC clients on machines and communicate with them from PowerHome to do the TTS or other actions.
With multiple PowerHome clients, you *could* also use the UDP plugin along with the ph_sendudp function as a means of cross communication.
Dave.

Thanks Dave,  I new there had to be a better way than transferring files with data. It makes it cumbersome to say the least.
