[arm-allstar] Network resources

[Chris Zenchenko]

First my thanks to the folks that answered my earlier questions.
As long as I'm on a roll might as well toss out a few more.
Maybe this is addressed in the yet to be released 1.3 release but I would
rather know now.
I want to connect to a network share elsewhere on my network from the BBB.
None of the usual file systems support seems to be available.
I thought I could install what I might need through apt-get but that doesn't
seem to be installed on the image either.
I am not a Linux expert, not even close!
I want to use the mount command to make that share connection.
How can I do that?

I have Windows machines and another ARM based machine running and I want to
be able to access files they create but I don't want to have to build a web
server just to make them accessible to the bbb.
I found a program for Windows called dspeech.
It uses sapi5 synthesizers and can be command line driven.
I want to build a batch file on my Windows box that watches for input text
files, builds audio output files and puts them where the BBB can get them.
Since I have a choice of at least 10 high quality voices on my Windows
platform I can create some nice text2speech files for my nodes.
I have a Aculink internet bridge and 5N1 sensor running on a PI.
There is a set of bridge-utils that can grab the raw packets from the bridge
and with some simple scripts process them in to text or whatever files that
I could also then ship through dspeech for current weather conditions.
So does anybody have an idea of what a batch file on Windows might look
like?
Basically monitor folder X.
When new text file appears run command to create audio file.
Put audio file in network location.
Delete input text file from folder.
I'm thinking the script that built the text file on the BBB would handle
putting the file on the network and removing the audio when it has been
played.
If anyone has a better idea I'm interested.
I'm not interested in the Festival or Flight or Espeak options.
I've already paid for software synths on my Windows machines since I need
them for my screen readers.

Now to recycle an old question.
I know this has been beat to death but I can't find the dead horse.
Can you play audio out to a remote node when it connects to you?
If so how?
I assume disconnect is at the remote end so I don't think you could play a
farewell message.
I can enter codes for local functions to play back audio on my local node.
What would a script look like to let a remote node input codes to trigger
audio back to that remote node?
Ok, I'm done.
I'm sure it will take me weeks to digest the answers to these and my earlier
questions.
Much thanks.
Oh, and I really do have working nodes, 41822, my RF node and 42392, my
computer only node.
