Only because it would save a lot of time and energy to just make it into our dashboard and read the printf s we already have instead of rewriting them to be sent over the network another way.
The UDP port for NetConsole output is 6666. It is not supposed to be permitted on the field. Who knows if the field is configured correctly, however. The worst you can do is try it and have it not work. As suggested earlier, the DS LCD class is pretty simple to use as a replacement if it doesn't work.
