What is your definition of ready?  To me ready means being able to control
something that is inside of a NAT domain from out on the internet (the first
thing that I am going to 'control' will just be a simulated light on the
screen).  As soon as this is proven to work the rest is just plain embedded
control stuff.

James, this is a great idea!  The hardware configuration that I was originally
considering was looking fairly expensive but a pure serial/uVM solution appears
like it could be quite cheap.  I wonder if we could daisychain these units
using your serial multidrop idea?

Anyway, the JXTA project submission guidelines indicate that project proposals
need to be discussed first and in the initial proposal that I would put
together I would just say that the Embedlet Group would allow the JXTA nodes to
control simple home appliances like house lamps.  I will not commit to any
specific way of how this will be done and I will refer to the hardware in
strictly abstract black-box terms.
