Meh.

I don't need an ISP setting it up for me.

»www.omnipotencesoftware.com/

A few Insteon switches, some hardware from these guys »www.controlbyweb.com/ and I can login remotely (and securely) to turn my lights on/off, check for fire or flood alarms and YES, even open/close the garage doors.

Thanks but no thanks ISPs. I'll do it myself. And since I put it together I won't have to deal with some cluess level 1 tech trying to figure out why my gas fireplace keeps turning on and off.
