I'm going to take it in small steps. First control X10 (normal on,
off, dim, bright, etc). Then start with simple Insteon (same basic
stuff). Then I'll take on the device manager. One of the other gentle
has come up with a loader.  As far as the core code goes I'll work on
that later (assembler and actual code).

Right now it's a toss up between using the device driver and the hid
driver.
