John,

I did some tests on my mdaemon a little while ago (when it was still
egroup=
s) I subscribed to egroups with another  mdaemon accout which forwarded it
=
to an mdaemon list to which I subscribed locally (( i know its an odd
idea)=
it all worked with no problems...=20

... last night whilst dozing off I had an idea for a project.... it was
lat=
e and you know how good things seem when you're half asleep so I thought
I'=
d run it by you lot to see if I was actually mad or it was a good idea....

You'll probably guess that the idea was triggered by my new foound
interest=
in Basic Stamps....=20

IREDS -  Infa Red Ethernet Distribution System (for want of a better name)=
=20

Brief ideas=20
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Receiver =3D Emitter unit

Each receiver has an IP address which means that Zoneing would be simply a
=
matter of sending the ir data to a specific group of ip adresses. Of
course=
you would actually know what piece of kit had what ir emmiter.. eg Sony CD=
Player, ip address 10.21.1.3  so you could target the specific device rath=
er that sending the same IR data to all emitters.

Each zone would only require 1 CAT5 connection to the main box (either a
PC=
or standalone unit) because you could just install a hub or switch locally=
to increase ports

PC interface in the main box to allow it to send commands to zones=20

Main box could use internal storage ( see http://www.milinst.com/megastor.h=
tm ) for learnt IR commands


What do you think... I haven't sat down and written any notes (this is the
=
first thing I've done with it)
