[sci.electronics] What can you control from an RS-232 port?

I'm interested in finding out about commercial hardware that can be
controlled from an RS-232 port.  For instance, is there a
remote-controlled car?  I am told that there are cameras whose panning
(and possibly zooming) can be so controlled.  Does anyone know any
details about these, or any other similar devices?
