[Dxspider-support] Gateway Node with MQTT and FIFO support (event-driven)

[HB9DHG Fulvio]

Dear Kin,

I'm eager to hear more details and see the results of your excellent work.
Is this what you are referring to?
http://clustermap.cronux.net:3100/d/ce1riovxg1k3ka/nodes?orgId=1

Feel free to contact me off-list if that would help avoid flooding the list
with my unnecessary questions. ;)
