| 1. A program, operable on at least one computer, for accessing machine software operative of a machine, comprising:
a protocol layer for converting data derived from the machine software to a set of function calls, the function calls being
exportable to an application for viewing on a user interface; and
a system interface for applying a set of permissions to the function calls from the protocol layer, whereby only a permitted
subset of function calls may be exported to an application, wherein a subset of permissions restrict access to the machine
to one of direct connection and network connection.
