Yes, there is a 3-way switch module available in the regular set of components, though it's less widely sold. I haven't seen it at Radio Shack or Whole Earth, but it appears regularly in the Heathkit mail-order catalog and may be available in Heathkit stores. It consists of a wall switch module similar to the regular one, but with 3 wires; and a remote matching wall switch for the other end (of the stairway, etc.) One can turn the circuit on and off interchangeably from either switch or any remote controller; and dim/bright from any remote. Costs about $22-25 for each set of two. ( ) ( Doug Mosher ) ( ...!ucbvax!cmsa!spgdcm ) ( 257 Evans, Univ. of California, Berkeley, CA, 415/642-5823 ) x-10 3-way wall switches
