Here is the mail address of the X-10 Corporation, which is the current
manufacturer / distributor of the X10 Stuff....

	X-10 (USA) Inc.
	185A LeGrand Ave
	Northvale, NJ  07647

The 2 powerline interfaces I know of from X-10 are:
	PL513	PowerLine  Interface (uni-directional computer -> powerline )
	TW523	Two Way PowerLine Interface  (bi-directional)


Micromint (of Steve Ciarcia fame) had a combination of the PL513 and
	your choice of software (ibm pc, bcc 180, bcc 52) to go with 
	it.  I don't know what the part numbers are, or if it is still
	available.  Their phone numbers/address are below:

	Micromint  Inc
	4 Park Street
	Vernon, CT, 06066

	order: 1-800-635-3355
	telco: 203-871-6170
