Some time ago, I saw some mention of a public domain
package for controlling X10 units from a 3B1. Whatever
information I had was lost a couple of disk crashes
ago. Does anyone have any information on this
package? Has anyone tried using it? Thanks in
advance.
Bob Platt
P.S. X10 units are used to control household devices such as
lights, appliances, etc. They use household wiring for
signalling between individual devices and a controller.

(I run things out of crontab, in spite of the program's author's recommendation against so doing. It seems the most reliable way of doing what I want to do.) -- Bruce Lilly blilly!balilly!bruce@sonyd1.Broadcast.Sony.COM

Do we have a complete address for this "conexch" system - and what/where are the "nixpub" listings?
