Thanks - they look like quite handy modules, and not outrageously
expensive for a fast-reaction access system.  (Although I can't see the point in the Elektor article, adding about =A3200 worth of modem
to a single socket - maybe it's just to spark ideas?)

I don't think I'll jump into a project using one just now (I still
haven't finished my security light and camera controller) but I'll
make some notes for future projects.  It looks like a great way to
send commands and get info from the house at very low cost.

Cheers,
