For what it's worth, I emailed Lifescan to ask for the serial communications routines for the Ultrasmart. I did find the serial protocol for the Ultra on my other computer -- if you don't have it -- I'll send it to you or anyone who asks.
If you haven't already, maybe if several of us email them to request the Ultrasmart protocol, it would convince them that it's a sound business decision to be open like Therasense (Abbott) did.
If you're ever bored, and my computer is on, you can take a quick gander at thesis work (liveabetes.com). The data mining side of it isn't interfaced yet, and I'm running out of time, but it was my attempt at doing something that's been done on a million other sites, only with my own flair to it. Maybe when we win the lottery and can afford to work together on something, we can share ideas, especially once you give up the Mac and .NET programming and move over to PHP
