-These are simple networking clients for P25 that work with the MMDVM Host.
+These programs are clients for the P25 networking now built into the MMDVM Host.
 
-Two programs exist. A simple gateway and a parrot program.
+The Parrot is very simple minded and can only handle one client at a time and is therefore not suitable for use as a shared resource via the Internet.
+
+The Gateway allows for use of P25 Talk Groups to control the access to the various P25 reflectors.
+
+The Gateway has an ini file that contain the parameters for running the software. The filename of the ini file is passed as a parameter on the command line. The Parrot takes the UDP port number to listen on as an argument.
+
+The MMDVM .ini file should have the IP address and port number of the client in the [P25 Network] settings.
+
+They build on 32-bit and 64-bit Linux as well as on Windows using Visual Studio 2017 on x86 and x64.
