Re Neptune (and Jupiter):  I haven't read through all 780+ posts in this thread, but does anyone know if you can take one of the neptune boxes and wire it up to a standard host?  Windows, Linux, etc?  Are the connectors between the boxes and the controller board USB, or something more esoteric?

I have a few boxes/cards from neptune's and Jupiter's at home, and if I could hook them up to random machines at work and control them using someone else's power costs, I'd love to.  But, trying to get the controllers to work on a corporate network would be a pain.

Thanks.
