Make the server/daemon, to store the incoming messages to a file, like a queue. Then you can make another Mystic script, MPS or MPY to read that file and display the info on the user, for example when he logs in, when he enters a menu etc. It's very simple this way, i think.

Also, instead of storing all the incoming data to one file, you can use a directory and each incoming packet, be stored in a separate file. This way, you will avoid any file access problems, while both mystic and the daemon, need to use the same file. Each time, you process a file/packet, the mystic (local) script, can delete it.

 Ra> Can you give me a simple snippet of how to use that mci code from ptyhon?

No need for that, if you do it like i say above :)
