RE: [misterhouse-users] 1-wire weather station

Looks like the ibutton.pl I use does not call monitor every pass, just once
a second:

 &iButton::monitor('01') if $New_Second;

Maybe your 56k modem is using the same IRQ?  Do you have an alternet com
port you can use?  Have you used that port for anything else while your
modemem is acitve?

I have been testing the code in ibutton.pl with my station.  Two things:

When read_dir is called, it leaves the switch 'on'.  This creates a lot of
tragffic for the monitor routine.  Also, having monitor run every pass is
quite time consuming.  Dioes it need to?

For some reason, when I connect with my win 56k modem - dialup, all 1-wire
calls fail, perhaps because the modem messes up the timing of the one-wire
code.

Any thoughts?
