I have a nice little widget I have developed that I would like to sell thru
the mail in kit (or assembled) form.  It's a little X-10 controller that is
nothing more than a small single board computer, a powerline interface and 
lots of software.

I have done all of the software myself, but the H/W (except for some cables)
is all off-the-shelf.  What I want to know is: do I need some type of FCC
certification for my product, or is the responsibility of the board
maker ?  Are there any other certifications, etc that I need to get to
sell this thing ?  How do I go about getting these ?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
