RE: X10 Questions

["Nick Broughton" <mail@xxxxxxx>]

I'll second that.  I had to get my CM12 onto a different ring - it
didn't
seem to work well in the loft(study) - too many Pc's methinks, so I got
a
10m serial extension from cr**lins, and ran it down a floor to the CM12
plugged it into a socket in the airing cupboard.  Been fine there
ever
since!
