I sell several options. X10 would not be my first choice.
I use product called Zwave. No need to plug anything into PC the remote has
a burglar detterant built in.

This is somewhat OT but I'd like to use my computer to turn lights on and
off and
perhaps other appliances. This to to fool would-be burglars. Is there a
gizmo
(lacking a better word) which I can plug into my PC USB, LPT1 or other
which
would enable this?
