hmmm... I like your thinking, but I don't have a regular phone line at home =)
 
But I could perhaps connect an old mobilephone to it somehow... and then I could phone my miggy from work and tell it to water the plants or something =)
I saw something like that on TV before, some geeks hade programmed a C64 to water their plants =)

Well I have four Amigas so that sounds like a plan, but I'm guessing it would require programming and that's not my strong side.
 
I was hoping someone had used this before so there was something to get me started =)

Oh well, perhaps i'll give it a go at ebay, It should be worth something, it goes for over 350$ new

I'm gonna go look for more, I think they've been using them in the building for something, there were loads of stuff in the dumpsters

It looked like they replace an alarm system of some kind.
 
Edit: and the unit looks really good, not even dirty or dusty

Buhu... they had already emptied the dumpster...

Hehe... no worries, it's just a small recycling room for our building so no crawling in compaction systems =)
