Randall,
Have you Looked into X10 ?
They have many input and output solutions for appliances but also to
and from the computer. They also can with a little creativity use RF
and IR as well as the AC wiring schemes. They also work over the
internet.
Check out the remote control switches here:

Check out the software here (there was a usb plugin that accepted
RS232):

Check out the SDK here:

I don't know if everyone understands that Jack's post specified a
range of (I interpreted as) a few hundred feet in a wild environment
of steel equipment, and walls, and certainly would not allow line-of-
site transmission. Bluetooth is out (distance). Wifi might work
with repeaters and the right firm and soft ware. IR will not work
because of line of site obstacles, distance, and heat noise. Cell
would work but presents connection issues and latency of public IP
system. This is why I was looking for a quick and dirty RC (model
car or airplane) solution. This would satisfy the line of site and
range problems. It would be faster in response than any IP or
telephonic system. Band-width conflicts would be minimized. Any
solutions that would satisfy the requirements stipulated by this
particular use environment?

I totally missed that. I guess I read it too quickly. Glad you are
paying better attention with a super solution.
