The Aug/Sept issue of Steve Ciarcia's Circuit Cellar Ink has an article
on pg. 50 about X-10 vs. CEBus.  Put simply, they aren't compatible and
apparently interfere with one another because of their common use of a
120 KHz signal.  The article says that future applications will have to
choose between the two.
