Scott, I've been using a CPU-XA as my primary powerline interface with ECS
for about 6 months now.  X10 signal strength in on par with both straight
x-10 (TW523) and CM11A units.  I've also tied in their Secur16 (8 relay, 8
analog/digital) and their Secur16IR unit.  I'm using the A/D for a AT&T
Doorphone (sets off remote chimes when the doorbell is pressed) and a
Magnetic Driveway sensor.  Both are on the RS485 network used by the CPU-XA.
I haven't had a chance to try their touchscreen though I am currently using
a Touchlinc 2.0.
