About two years ago, there was a lively discussion in this newsgroup
regarding the BSR X10 control units, controlling software, and other
home automation related stuff. I did get the X10 code ported to an OS9
system, and have been happily running it for over a year. Thanks 10E7
to the original poster for this gem!

I also saw a technical note that involved placing a capacitor between
two of the elctrical circuits in the house. This was to help with the
problem of a controller on one leg of the circuit not being able to
reliably get a command to a module on another leg of the circuit. Can
anybody unearth this article, or just give me the lowdown on what
needs to be done, and how? Many thanks for any help!
