Default X10 controlers

Yupe...that would work. However, building a small remote box with ethernet is no easy task....actually quite hard. I would actually put the PC next to the reef and have the PC drive the reef through isolated outputs (optocouplers) and inputs via the parallel ports. Analog inputs could be made through the sound card. Relays could be used to switch on and off AC devices.

The OS reliability still bugs me though....
