X-10 USA makes home control modules that Leviton sells as part of the "Decora"
line.  Most of this line consists of ordinary passive outlets and switches
with a "modern" designer style.  The remote control equipment is the interesting
part.

The following information is from the Leviton "Wiring Device Catalog",
D-300, copyright 1985.  Slightly condensed and reorganized by yours truely.
Despite the copyright, the catalog must be somewhat current.  They just sent
it to me!  They neglected to send a price list, although they promised that
they would.  Sigh.
