How do I use Digidesign C24 as a control surface?

I've been looking for a driver or setting to use our Digidesign C24 with SoundTrack Pro as a control surface.

Does anyone know how to set this up?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

From page 391 STP Guide

Soundtrack Pro supports control surfaces that use the Mackie Control and Logic Control protocols to communicate with your computer. In order to use a control surface, you must first connect the control surface to a MIDI interface, and connect the MIDI interface to your computer, unless the control surface allows direct connection to the computer.

Since the c|24 uses the proprietary digidesign ethernet protocol I don't think you can get this to work. Even digi controllers like the Command 8 which are midi controllers don't support the Mackie or Logic protocols.

This is what I understood. Gotta' wish that someone would hack together a way for that proprietary protocol to interface with the Logic protocol.

Thanks for the answer.
