HI again.
>From memory....you can use 15 pins on the LPT port in the manner I use.
So, you could control 15 devices if you wanted to.
I only use one at the moment...but my intention is to control more stuff.
I actaully get really carried away with this particular device, in that I
wrote a program that answered the phone, and if I enterd a sequence of
numbers, it took me to the "Device Control" menu. From there I could switch
the device on or off....great if you were out on a cold winters night...you
just rang home, and turned on the heater so it was nice and warm for when
you got home.....I also made a web interface for it too....told you I got a
bt carried away....hahahahaha
