On the Smarthome page I found the following LINK
http://wish.sourceforge.net/
That link leads to a site with an absolute BUTLOAD of Linux X10 stuff, with
Linux code for the USB Powerlinc.  Smarthome itself does not have specs, but
the guy that set this site up seems to have worked out most everything you
would need to get Linux ECS working with the USB Powerlinc.  The Windows
version should follow, once you have an idea on how it works.

Personally, I think that ECS supporting the newest PLC out there would be a
good selling point.  Especially since most everything else X-10 is years
old.

Take a look at the site, and if you are interested, I would be happy to let
you use my USB Powerlinc to play with.  They are only $35 new, so I could
get another if there was a Discount in it for me on my copy of ECS<g>.

Hi Paul,
I might consider this if I can find a protocol spec.
Do you know where I can find one ?
Thanks,
