I take it you don't have a PC to dedicate to your HA project then
John?  I plan to buy one of the multi serial port cards for my
"old"
P233MMX and retire it to help the HomeVision run the house (then
I can build that P2 I want!).  Spare serial ports will allow modem,
callerID etc etc to hook up to HV.

I'd love to hear more about your lighting system as I am trying to
decide between DIN rail X10 modules and some sort of hard wired
system instead!

What price are you being quoted for a Stargate and does this
include the IR interface now or is that still an extra?

Thanks
