Well, the first thing that comes to mind is a line from Fxtv, the
app-defaults file:
!Fxtv.remoteType: X10
! Remote control type (if present)
There's one or two others. Do you think they all might trace from the
work you refer to below?
What's a good X10 card I can stick in my computer, and is there anything
readable I could find? This is *interesting*.
A while back, I cooked

OK, I'll do that on Friday evening, just after my last final. I did
pretty well on the one today, and decided to give myself the rest of the
day off to look at this neat stuff. Glad I did, this is great.
One point, tho, the mute on fxtv works, but the volume slider doesn't.
My hardware, my configuration, or a bug?
