I'm looking for a device which can: - Answer an incomming call on a phone line - Listen for a combination of 3 touch tone key strokes - If the combination is correct, activate a relay (to activate another device) - After a programmable amount of time, deactivate the relay If you know where I can find such a device (or something similar) please send Email to me. Commercial products only, I don't want to build one. Thanks, car. -- Christopher A.

Such devices exist at Radio Shack. You need the X-10 telephone responder (RS's name for X-10 is "Plug-n-Power"). The telephone responder can activate any unit#. The unit in question can be either an appliance module (for switching 120VAC or 220VAC), or the relay output module (I think they call it a burglar alarm interface). tonya@sid.hp.com
