I tried in vain in the past to get x10d to work, so I went hunting for something else. I found 'heyu', and downloaded the beta version 2 a while back (heyu2). I works fairly well. As an aside, I have been using Homeseer (on windoze) for a long time, and have searched high and low for something on FreeBSD that would even come close. The problem with heyu2 is that it only sends commands... it doesn't listen for signals from my remotes and such. For that, I used an app called 'xtend'. I was able to configure macros that I could trigger with a remote... xtend would receive the signal from the remote and then kick off a job for heyu2. A kludge, for sure... An integrated tool that could speak and listen would be yummy, but I know even less than you about C. I have actually been thinking about schooling myself in C just for this task. If you would like any guidance on getting heyu2 set up, give me a shout and I will dig up my notes (I have reverted back to Homeseer for now). --=20 Mike perl -e 'print unpack("u","88V]N=3D&%C=3D\"!I;F9O(&EN(&AE861E
