I think they were originally developed and marketted by BSR about
6 or 7 years ago.  I was in Fry's Electronics this afternoon to
pick up a CP290, the X-10 controller with an RS-232 interface,
and I saw some old, dusty BSR modules still for sale (said BSR on
the package).  I don't know if BSR sold the right to X-10 in NJ,
or if X-10 is a subsidiary of BSR.  I'm planning on writing a
letter to X-10 with some product improvement suggestions; anyone
that wants me to include suggestions that they have, please
feel free to e-mail them to me and I'll include them in my
letter.  I'll probably send the letter out in about 2 weeks.
