Re: Whats your GS setup like?

[TWS <adoyson@nccn.net>]

I forgot to mention a few other things:

Modem Port doesn't have a Modem  (although I have one, waiting for Marinetti
2.0 aware comm. programs)

The modem port is connected to my PC by a 50 foot serial cable, so I can
download stuff with the PC and Z-modem it to the GS.

The X-10 Automation controller is used for the following:

I added an "ON" push button switch to my keyboard, which turns on the entire
GS system.  (somebody emailed me the instructions on how to do this)  I can
control lights, appliances, sprinklers, etc.  Right from my IIgs!

I also have a Serial Graphics tablet  (Kurta IS/ONE).  I wrote a small
program to read the X,Y data from it, but I don't know how to Get the data
into GS/OS, so I could use it instead of the mouse.
