Re: DoorBell Fon and VOIP linksys adapters - can they co-exist?

["BruceR" <brNOSPAM@xxxxxxxxxx>]

For the application you want Stargate will give you 1 second resolution
using Delays. For example, (and I'll do this in plain English rather
than program syntax):
 If Doorbell Rings
 Then
    A-1 ON
    Delay 4 seconds
    A-2 On
    Delay 2 seconds
    A-3 On

There are also variables that can be used to change the timing of the
events.  For more details see
