Hey, maybe I'm missing the point here.. But what does this setup actually DO?
You mention you were looking into using a compact Mac to control items in your home, correct? This concept is interesting to me as it's not something I had thought of as a possibility before. However, from what I understand from reading here and at that URL, it appears that all that's been accomplished is to turn on an LED or two using a modem command. Which would happen anyway if the LEDs were still inside the modem itself and you had issued appropriate commands. It seems to me that illuminating a couple modem LEDs, while perhaps nice to look at during the holiday season, doesn't really serve any purpose, and is still a very far cry from doing any kind of actual controlling of household items. But again, perhaps I'm misunderstanding or missing the point? -Nat ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew, a Mac Freak" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Compact Macs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 23, 2004 7:43 PM Subject: Finished!
