Why serial instead of ||port?
Anyway, it should be relatively the same. You just raise a line to activate
the relay, drop it to shut it off. Pretty easy all in all. I should still
have my script somewhere for the ||port if you'd like it.

There are quite
a few HOWTOs out here like this one:
http://www.linuxhq.com/ldp/howto/mini/Home-Electrical-Control/index.html
which basically drives a relay switch off of the parallel port of a Linux
box.
Cool, this is the kind of thing that I'm looking for, now to try and figure
out what would be required for it to work on a Serial Port...
