Re: How important is a RS-232 port?

RS232 ports are usually provided as a control port for very high-end control systems (ie. Crestron). With a Crestron super remote system, you can control EVERYTHING in the house - audio, video, lighting, heating, etc., etc. A few hobbyists wire their PCs into their components' 232 ports. They then load a comm driver and play around with "talking" with the various boxes at the other end. Me, I'd rather listen to them than talk to them.
