Thanks all. I'd probably prefer to use a gewa product because of the
support we can get, & I'm happy with Grid for controlling things.
I was wondering whether there was anything mainstream that would let the
PC dial direct down the phone line (or are modems archaic technology
now?). Or possibly to Bluetooth to a mobile?

I note that the TIRA is no longer listed on the Girder web site, and
they seem to be
recommending UIRT. I also note a number of complaints about TIRA
andGirder in a home
automation forum.
I would therefore suggest the UIRT for use with Girder.
The TIRA is fine with Grid 2.
