[ale] Monitoring Win SETI at home from *nix

I recently caught the SETI at home bug.  I've got some old (very!)
machines that aren't doing much else, and I thought I'd put their
extra cycles to use.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to monitor a windows me box
running the graphical s at h client from a unix box?  So far,
setilog looks best, but it only works with the cli version of
s at h, which doesn't run on Win ME.  

My basic plan is to mount an smb share from windows and look at a
log file.  If there is no other way to do it, I could install
Perl on Win ME and run Perl Seti.  But that's a lot of work for
just looking at how seti is doing remotely.  :-)  Setilog would
have been great.

Any other ideas?
