Baysight is a tool that may be installed on desktop GNU/Linux, xBSD, 
MacOSX, and Microsoft W32 systems to monitor a collection of one or more 
GNU Bayonne telephony servers in a production deployment.  The Baysight
application offers a front-end GUI for viewing live status from each of
your GNU Bayonne servers.  The "fox" toolkit is used to offer a portable
GUI environment.  An implementation of Baysight may also be offered as a
Java application in the future.

Originally, this package was distributed as part of GNU Bayonne itself.  
The reason for separating Baysight from GNU Bayonne is that while 
GNU Bayonne may be installed on production servers, the GNU Bayonne site 
monitoring tool needs to be separately installable on individual 
administration workstations. 

Baysight receives GNU Bayonne node status broadcast messages.  These are
typically sent either to specific workstations, or to a group of
workstations that appear on a common subnet.  A simple config file will
be added to specify the port number GNU Bayonne will be transmitting
under, and this only needs to be changed if the GNU Bayonne servers have
also been modified to use a different port number.

At the moment, this application only offers a visual "view" of the 
status of remote GNU Bayonne servers.  In the future, control options 
will also be offered both for configuration and over running servers.

Information on the latest release of Baysight may be found from
http://www.gnu.org/software/bayonne/baysight.html.  Discussions about 
Baysight may occur on the GNU Bayonne mailing list.  One can register to 
the mailing list by sending to bayonne-devel-request@lists.sourceforge.net.
