so what is the difference between the PLC's and the PLM's?

I don't need an EZBridge, i'd prefer to work everything exclusively inside LinuxMCE itself, putting orbiters in wall mounts.

The PLC is a smarter device.  It has a clock, timers, all kinds of crap...

the PLM is basically a DUMB device.. it allows sending and reception of raw Insteon messages.

I prefer the PLM as it is quicker... the PLC has some speed problems due to the USB interface..
The only intuitive interface is the nipple.  After that it's all learned.
My other computer is your windows box.
I'm out of my mind.  Back in 5 minutes.
Q:  What's Red and smells like blue paint?

A:  Red Paint.

Yeah, if you have a serial port available..

If not, you can go for the PLC.. $10.00 difference in price...
