Hi All,
About this whole touch tone thing and home automation control. I love
the Myth automation concept. Isn't that what myth is suppose to be
about? Mythical convergence? As far as touch tone activation, I've been
half following this thread.. Instead of touch tone magic, why not good
old SMS?
In this summer issue of 2600 (I think). there is a short article on
using SMS to control your box.. It's sort of smart hack..Basically, it
takes advantage the fact that most phones can SMS email addresses.. I'll
see if I can find/post the article if anybody is interested. It could
turn into a pretty useful tool if somebody put some time into a myth
interface.

I am glad to know that my assumption about the people on this list was
correct. - Unfortunately Heyu and Heyu2 will not work for me (I have the
Firecracker PC Module), but most importantly it won't do the part with the
phone. That is the most important part for me. I can log onto my computer
from anywhere there is a available WiFi connection with my PDA, but with my
cell phone (or even a pay phone) I could call from anywhere. I have heard
about Linux computer based answering machines, that will effectively give
you voicemail. It seems to me that any computer can discern one touch-tone
from another. So why can't I use specific tones to run specific commands.
-(this is one of the few times I wished I had chosen computer engineering
over mechanical engineering)- Surely some one has thought of this before.
Thanks for the replies, and keep 'em coming. -Mat
