Lines: 20 In-reply-to: cgordon@vpnet.chi.il.us's message of 24 Sep 90 17:55:05 GMT I believe that there are guidelines about what sorts of signals and power levels one can couple onto electrical wires, right? So where do I get my hands on them? Also I have heard of an emerging spec for home/industrial control type applications, does anybody know anything about this? What I am looking for is a sort of 'dishwasher lan' where all devices have a distinct address, and can respond to control signals with information about current status. All this would go across the internal house wiring or low-speed infra-red links. I could then kludge interfaces onto all of my current stuff(hopefully) and hook it all to a pc as a controller/gateway system. -- -- {uunet, mips, decwrl}!wyse!milo!adyer or adyer@milo.wyse.com Andrew Dyer, c/o Wyse Technology MS203-3 3471 N.
