I control the servo motor (1 for now, I expect to add some more later) directly from serial port. U can control up to 3 servo motors this way (per serial port). Not efficient but very fast to build/test (I did this part of the project in about 2 hours). U'll find informations on http://lpmorh04.univ-fcomte.fr/servo.ps (linux program) No information on the wireless modem part (been looking for a long time myself for a cheap pair of wireless modems)-- Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" to
