I've been looking into getting the BSR X-10 system for my house. Naturally I want to control things with my computer. I've found several sources for the modules (Radio Shack, DAK, Heath/Zenith) but have found none which can supply the PC (preferably RS-232, async) interface. Does anyone know of a source for these interfaces that can deliver in a reasonable period of time? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I program ... therefore I am.
