[asterisk-users] phone as control interface (was 99 bottlesof beer)

[Dovid B]

Does anyone know of such a  device that I can use over a network ? It would 
be a pain to run a USB cable. I am thinking of devices that are like:
www.phidgets.com
http://www.smarthome.com/1132cu.html
http://www.smarthome.com/1141.html
http://www.smarthomeusa.com/Shop/wgl-irrigation//


Thanks.

Dovid
