[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Looking for X-10 interface program

ihw@cbnewsj.ATT.COM (irwin.h.walkenfeld) (03/21/90)

Does anyone out there have the IBM-PC software for programming the
computer interface module that's part of the X-10 remote control system?

I have two units with the software for a different computer and
would like to give one unit to my brother who has an IBM-PC, but this
would be useless without the software (and I'm not about to write
my own program to do it -- yet).

I cannot locate the X-10 module/software or Radio Shack's compatible
"Plug 'n' Power" module at any of my usual sources.

Please send responses to the e-mail address below. I do not
ordinarily read this newsgroup, so please do not post replies. 

Thanks.
