[Plug] X10 - if anyone is interested in playing


http://freshmeat.net/news/1999/07/17/932184000.html
Free "home control kit" from X10, to thank the linux
community for linux X10 drivers or some such.
You can get this little kit for 5.90 (shipping costs).
Just thought I'd share this with anyone who doesn't check freshmeat
several times/day.


    Firecracker Components:

         Computer interface - No bigger than a Fig Newton[tm], the
interface plugs into a serial port in the back of
         your computer. The X10 through-port design allows you to plug
another device into the back of the
         interface. Using the FireCracker[tm] software allows you to
send commands through this interface to the
         Wireless Link Module[tm] and through the household wiring. This
interface can control up to 16 sets of
         lights and appliances.
         PalmPad Remote Control - The PalmPad[tm]Remote is one of X10's
most powerful remotes, allowing you to
         control up to 16 sets of lights and appliances when you are
away from your PC.
         Wireless Link Module - This module takes the wireless signal
from the computer interface and converts it to
         an X10 signal, sending commands through the household wiring to
lamp and appliance modules.
         Lamp Module - This module receives signals to turn on or off a
lamp based on your commands.
