Re: [mh] MisterPlug Lives

[daneel <da...@gm...>]

Inspired by your success, I am on the point of ordering a GuruPlug 
Server Plus from NewIT in order to run MisterHouse, which I ran some 
years ago under Linux (which was new to me) but most of which I have now 
forgotten. I accessed the GUI on Win XP through NXServer, but perhaps 
with the GuruPlug this will be simplified?

You mention a TWiki but I cannot find a working link to one, or do you 
mean the MisterHouse Wiki http://misterhouse.sourceforge.net/install.html?
Nor can I find any reference to MisterPlug. Can you please supply URLs?

How does sound (VR, voice) work? Can I just plug in my USB headset to 
the GuruPlug and expect it to work?

I look forward to hearing how you get on with RS232 control, without 
that we won't be able to work with our X10 devices. When (!) you crack 
that one, please post a clear 'how to'.

Many thanks,

Dan
