The easiest way might be to grab a debug version of my Protx 
module, on ftp.zolotek.net/mv. Note that I am supposed to be 
releasing an updated version of this (apologies to those to 
whom I'm late on this promise) so please just use it to get some
ideas from. The newer version just needs cleaning up and packaging
and does have several updates - hopefully I'll get to it in the next 
few days ...
