I frist thought I got the wrong address, and posted it again =/ Anyway, about your answers, 1. I can't pull the plug, because I want to minimize downtime. > 4-5 hours is not good at all =( 3.

About the X10 controllers... Never heard about them before. How do they work? What are they used for? It sounds interesting.
