I think the link is good. SourceForge is having problems right now; try again later. The Linux, OpenBSD link seems to focus on more "hobby-like" automation (i.e. X-10 stuff), which is not terribly reliable. The system I'm referring to (AMX NetLinx) is a "professional" automation system, 100% bullet-proof, 100% reliable, and pretty dang costly. But these are extraordinarily nice systems to have if you care about home automation. Yes, source software fits into this equation. The software that I wrote for the AMX NetLinx system to drive the SlimServer is open source, freely available. You can download it from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/netlinx-modules when SourceForge is working okay! ;-) -- Jeff -- Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jeff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20703 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
