Does anyone know a way to control CP500 volume from the DCI server? The CP500 has an RS232, but there is little documentation. One could think of some easy electronics to break it down to the anlog remote fader pot, but, is there an off-the-shelf device? I guess a lot of digital installs still use CP500s?

Lot of installs used the USL ECi-60 interface device that goes inbetween from server to processor (many makes with proper adaptive devices).
