I am designing a Home control system based around a modified PC clone.
I would like to use the X-10 system to control lighting, etc.  I have
seen the plug-in control modules and remote controls advertised in
various sources, but I have not been able to locate a source for
a PC bus controller card.  I would appreciate any information on this
interface card, the X-10 system in general, or any ideas/warnings/discussion
on Home control systems.

Another question:  Does anyone have any experience with any of the PC
voice-mail cards?  I am thinking about interfacing a voice-mail card into
the home control system, to allow remote status reports and remote control
of various system functions.

Thanks in advance.  If you e-mail your responses, I will summarize to the
net.
