thanx, Jasem. I found a feature that I didn't see documented that is a huge help. I always thought starting in fifo mode made it fifo only... but I was wrong. It turns out I am able to start indiserver in fifo mode AND add a regularly started driver in one line... like this:

indiserver -f /tmp/indiFIFO "ZWO ASI294MM PRO"@10.0.0.2

So I can have all of the drivers, local or not, connected to a single instance of indiserver... and I can load and reload all of the local drivers. At the moment I have that ZWO driver just running static and I can login remotely and reload it. I think I may do something with socat.

YEars ago you helped me with an apogee camera indi driver but I don't know if it was on this forum. the login didn't seem to like any of my email addresses... so I started from new. Its been long enough ago that I am now replacing that apogee with this ZWO so an account might just not exist. I appreciate all the support you've given. You really should consider taking indi and kstars scheduling to the astrorob conference one of these years. I bet you would get a lot of interest.
