<p>Shouldn't be too hard... The Coffee HowTo has some sketchy ideas.
For on
<br>off applications, one can use one bit the printer port to drive an
opto
<br>isolator/triac or relay combination (don't forget the isolation!!!!!!).
If
<br>you want non simultaneous control of up to 256 devices, you could decode
the
<br>8 pins of the printer port. An alternative approach is a serial
controlled
<br>PIC based system, which could operate completely standalone if you
wanted
<br>to. As an aside, I could do such control over a wider range with
the IRLP
<br>box... "Press hash to boil the kettle..." :-)

<p>This one is better handled outside the PC. There have been kits
for "infra
<br>red repeaters" over the years.
