It seems like there was some kind of cat door in the latest Heathkit
catalog as part of their new "Home Automation" pull-out section.
There are some interesting products in there. It's nice to see
another company start to get serious about home automation.
Speaking of Heathkit's home automation stuff, has anybody tried
the Phonex wireless phone jack (that transmits phone conversations
over the house wiring)? The ad claimed it could be used with
modems. I have also seen it in the Damark catalog for 25% less.
Also, what about those telephone-line-powered 2400 baud modems the
size of a DB-25 connector Damark is selling for $70? Any good?
