I think I've only got 1 way devices.  The standard "starter" kits I've
accumulated.  I'm using cronjobs like this:

# Boy's TV off
0 21 * * * root /usr/bin/br -x /dev/ttyS1  -c B -f 1 -r 2

(-r for repeat)

It works 95% of the time but doesn't always it seems.

Thus spake Frank S. Glass (glass at holos.com):

> I am using both the one-way bottlerocket device and the two-way device (cm11a?).
>  The two-way device uses a command line interface called "heyu".  When I had

DISCLAIMER:
      These are MY OPINIONS ALONE.  I speak for no-one else.

Life is not a destination, it's a journey.
  Microsoft produces 15 car pileups on the highway.
    Don't stop traffic to stand and gawk at the tragedy.
