Hi Jerry;
  ECS will support more than one PLC-Interface, if you assign the
PLC-Interface that you actually want to do X10 station 0 and the other
Station1. I have had both the IR Master and HomeVision, but am using the
HomeVision now for IR and X10. I have nothing against the IR Master, 'cept
the company which, in my opinion sucks, or use
to suck.
  Hope that helps...
Don
