RE: Interconnecting the xAP protocol with x10 signals

[Kevin Hawkins]

Alex,

Although this may not be the best PR for a xAP group I can only
endorse what Steve says below. Almost forget xAP for the moment and get
started with some X10 kit and have a play - the ActiveHome software will
provide a good starting point. xAP comes into the picture really when you
start to expand your system a little.

- I don't know what your background is - it sounds like it might
have some electronics in there and maybe some software >>? Anyway as
you
said -once you're started you're hooked.

I have emailed Dan's address to you directly.

Kevin
