Thinking back to the old empeg towers, I remember an IP Doorbell being discussed.

I have just wired out most of the house with Cat5e, even up to the door bell and alarm (more to do with having spare cable than anything else) and it got me thinking about how cool it would be to have an IP Doorbell.

The trouble is I don't have a clue where to start. I will have a couple of PC's in the "Server Cupboard" running XP Pro (for music/video and CCTV) and everything is wired back to there. I am using this Spore doorbell button.

I will have a couple of Rio Recievers around the house, as welll as Tivo and WiFi to the PDA and several PC's, it would be really cool if a message pops up on all these devices when the doorbell is pressed (and maybe CLi when the phone rings???).

Anyone hae any solutions to this ???

Cheers

Cris.
