This type of hardware is wonderful stuff.  It is distributed by
a number of companies.  The only one "I" know of that sells a computer
interface is Heathkit, I am sure there are more..

   Heath Company
   P.O. Box 8589
   Benton Harbor, MI 49022

There unit is by X-10, requires a serial port (COMM 1 or 2) and was
around $40.  It can access modules 1-16 on all HOUSE CODES.

All in all great stuff, I have written my own interface to allow
COMM 1-4.  All the required DOC to write your own code is provided
by X-10.


BTW: X-10 (USA) Inc.                  X-10 Home Controls Inc.
     185A LeGrand Ave.                1200 Aerowood Drive, Unit 20
     Northvale, N.J. 07647            Mississauga, Ontario L4W 2S7
     (201)-784-9700                   (416)-624-4446

Hope this helps.  This is a frequent request on the NET :-).
