Mark:

	It did lock up the ECST.exe version as well. Here's the details of what I
am doing.

I have 2 LM14A's and an RR501 2-way X-10 transceiver. Whenever I try to dim
the LM14A's the CM11A would lock up. The same thing happens when I try to
turn ON/OFF the RR501 which is also sending back a STATUS message I assume.
Both devices allow you to poll their statuses so I assume ECS isn't
accounting for the extra message back from the devices? I can dim all other
one-way lamp modules just fine.
