Talking / reading a T.I. RFTAG with PB dos or PB win

[JAMES GILLEM]

Anyone have any experience reading Radio TAGS?
The kind used to track a cow via an inplanted TAG.

I have a client that wants to issue a card / TAG containing
a unique customer ID and that TAG with it's ID will then brodcast
that specific customers presence on property and then set up
a greeting much like an automated caller ID phone number will let
the call receiver see the contact information on a screen using
a phone # on file to link to an in house database.

Any Ideas ?

I feel that this will be a critical mission type program and
would be best served using DOS

Thanks in advance.

James,
most of the tag readers work through a normal serial port so the software you use can be windows (or Unix) based as well as DOS.

<<will then brodcast that specific customers presence on property >>

The tags have a range of a few inches to about 10 feet, depending on which type you use, so "broadcast" isn't the right word here. To track people you need a tag reader on every exit/entrance to the property.

Paul.
