I found another listing. There is a company that someone mentioned here
in this newsgroup called Terrific Corp. Don't remember where they were
located, but the same day this message came in, I had picked up a copy
of the January '89 Antic.

Well they have restarted their 8 bit Catalog and one of the listings is
Terrific Corp.'s software for controlling X10 devices. Apparently it 
supports a device called Powerhouse Interface from X10 and is called
PowerManager. Antic's code for this is TH0029 and is shown as $24.95 US.

I don't know more than that about this, since I am not affiliated with
Antic except as a reader of their magazine.
