Alrighty, I'll scrounge the stuff up in the am and PM you after I get the 0710 box up and running with an extra PLM attached.  Shouldn't be any later than late afternoon (unless the old man breaks out the whip and makes me fix the HAI first...why do I come back here on my vacation time? ;-).  Talk to you then - for now, I'm going to try to get some sleep...

Nope, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have one (yet), but I've accomplished the same thing with a windows box running remote desktop with a plm.  It's even better when they go out of town and get someone to watch their house.  There are webcams set up covering some of the main rooms, so I can watch the poor souls' reactions when I start turning things (lights, russound zones, alarms, etc.) on and off from 350 miles away. ;-)
If they can ever get FTT* in their area, I was going to see if I could link a MD to a Core over a VPN so I can access his movie collection from home.  If that worked, then it would be even easier to f*ck with his (and others') minds, and I could do pretty much whatever I needed to with the Insteon interface.
Anyway, if you really want me to test an EZBridge also, I can probably convince him that he "needs" one (he gets dealer pricing anyway, so it's not that overpriced) - otherwise I can probably just figure out a way to simulate the same thing through an SSH pipe between the linux boxes in meantime.  Just lemme know what you want me to do.  Oh, and the download slowed down, so it'll be about 4 hours to completion now....(I'm getting anxious to try the new version)

Hey Dan~

I'm a bit new to the LMCE arena, but have been screwing around with Insteon since before it was released (I was lucky enough to be a beta tester of it back when it still should have been alpha).  I've been trying to convince my dad to go with LMCE for his HTPC/Automation systems at his house and Insteon support was the one last hurdle to get his acquiescence, so I'm pretty psyched about your implementation.  In total he has a couple hundred devices (no joke, the man's got a problem), a handful of PLMs, even some way pre-release touchscreen timer things that I've been less than impressed with.  I've been running 0704 at my place and 0710 should be down downloading in an hour or so, at which time I'll put that on an HTPC for his trial.  I'd love to test out the interface (should be able to give it a pretty thorough workout), and I have a few extra PLMs sitting around, so let me know what you want me to do (if anything)!  The only constraint I have is that I normally live down in Atlanta and only have off work/grad school until early Jan (though I could swipe an extra PLM and some LampLincs or something if I needed).
Let me know, and thanks for all your work on this!
