Oh well...) I have made a new version of my TW-523 X-10 driver for 386bsd available for anonymous FTP as file /pub/386BSD/xten.tar.Z on host cs.sunysb.edu. This is a revised version of the driver that I posted last fall, and which was for a time available on ref.tfs.com. The new version of the driver can take advantage of the high-precision microtime routines in patchkit 0.2.3 to give somewhat more reliable error detection. Also new in this version is a daemon "xtend", which implements a civilized interface to the driver for use by client programs. I have been using this software, together with "cron", for the last several months to control lights in my home. Gene Stark stark@cs.sunysb.edu -- stark@cs.sunysb.edu
