I want to start playing with automating the homestead. I would greatly appreciate any info on computer interfaces for controlling BSR type home control systems. I seem to recall these where available for the apple and s100 systems, but a recent search (scanning a back issue of Byte) hasn't turned up anything. Thanx John Pipkins
