80 bucks a month? Hmmm. that's more like it. This information hasn't made it
to their web site yet, though...but then, if it had, it wouldn't qualify as
a rumour, now would it, :)...?
Currently I'm feeding my application using DDE/QLink (directly, no Excel),
but it does have its drawbacks. For anyone using QLink, I can tell you that
there is a distinct difference between using TS-data and bar-data - you get
approx. 40-45 % more updates on the bar-data than on the TS, and the TS
seems to contain more bad ticks.
I'll check out MyTrack...thanks for the tip (...DTN looks OK as well...any
comments?).

No. You need to sign up as 3rd party developer and pay an SDK fee.
Contact eSignal for more details.

Latest news is that they lowered the developer feed fee to around 80 a
month,
plus whatever the sign up fee is.

If maintain an SDK and corresponce with 3rd party developers requires at
least
2 to 3 programmers plus other staff. Someone must pay for it.
There is no free lunch.
There was though - when the internet bubble was growing and
burning money for nothing was the norm :)

The lowest priced SDK is with MyTrack - pretty stable.
