I do the almost the same thing. I ordered an X10 firecracker kit when they were featured on here and freshmeat. I don't know if it still can be ordered, but the link is here. It was only $5.90 and it comes with a serial passthrough that has an RF transmitter in it. All you have to do is send it simple commands and it will turn on and off up to 16 things that are connected to X10 control modules. Works great too.
http://news.tucows.com/ext2/99/07/networking/072399-networkin g1pf.shtml has an article about setting up something very similar with VNC and xdm. Very cool. Notice the comment at the bottom about anyone being able to take over a vnc session, anyone know if these servers do anything about that?
My roadrunner service has been of good quality for the 6 or so months that I have had it. I hope AOL doesn't go and mess with it. Anyone have experience with AOL owned DSL? Is it Linux/BSD friendly? Roadrunner just got rid of it's windows only login program (but there was a linux version made my users) and I don't want to go back to something similar.
Why doesn't microsoft just use the TOC protocol? If all they want to do is send messages to AIM users, TOC would work fine. The protocol was released by AOL, so they cant yell about MS using it. It doesn't support all of the features of the proprietary protocol, but for messages it is all you need. Many linux, plus AOL's own java client use it.

Check out http://adsl.contamination.org/how_tos.ht ml. This is for Zoomtown (cincinnati bell) but they use the same cisco, so i bet that the setup is similar.

I used to love to turn on the plastic santa that we put out in the yard at Christmas, doesn't everyone?
