Does anyone have a PD program to allow an Atari 400/800 to drive
a BSR X-10 Powerhouse module ?

FYI: the Powerhouse module is a controller for BSR X-10 power-line
remote control devices to turn on/off/dim lights, appliances, radios, 
etc. It comes in different versions with interface cables and software
for Apples, Commodores, and IBM-PC's. DAK Industries is currently selling
this unit for about $20.00 - it lists for $120.00. I bought one because
this is such a good deal even though I don't have one of the supported
micros. The IBM=PC version has a standard RS232 interface (DB-25 even).
It is programmed from the host computer either to immediately turn on/off
some device or to set up a schedule of timer events with such niceties
as having differnet schedules nfor weekdays and weekends.

I would like to get a program for the 8 bit Ataris to drive this
device. Does anyone know of one?
