Adaptor And Stuff

Hello, I have the #78-8846 and on the hand held controller there is what looks like a phone line (data link) so what I am asking is is there an adaptor that I could plug the line in to my P.C. and control the scope. I am also not able to find an adaptor to hock my Motorola SLR camera up (T-RING) to the eye piece? Do they make one?..............Jim
