A signal sucker didn't attenuate the XTB-II output enough.  What works is
running that lamp module through a X10 5A plug-in filter.  The XTB-II still
punches enough signal through the filter so that the lamp module works fine.

This must be load related because the other modules on that same circuit do
not exhibit any flicker.  As I recall, the Insteon problem was only reported
on wall switches with heavy loads.
