I've got the X10 side working fine. Getting the ethernet portion working reliablely is another thing.

Well, I have kind of the opposite problem
I'm involved with these guys: www.violasystems.com so I use their nifty little box for the ethernet part.

NE2000 clone but there are quite a few differences and Realtek aren't too hot on documenting them it seems...

Ouch. Yes. Always amazes me. There aren't that many different ways of doing a NE2000, and still some people consider their aberrations "proprietary secrets"

I've got the docs for X10 extended commands somewhere. I'll see if I can dig it out.

Well it's especially the "preset dim" stuff that is driving me crazy. Or *any* way to *reliably* dim up from 0 to a *pre-defined* amount.
