Hi Dan, I have been working too much (60-80hr weeks, ugh) to respond
to your other question, I wasn't intentionally ignoring you (well,
actually I was :) ... anyway, no I don't think I tried any ACT
products.  I must say though that even though the dims are not coming
through when sent with AH via my PC otherwise having high reliability
of at least on/off is tremendous.  Note that I can dim using any of
the remotes, it's just AH that won't dim, very odd, but I'm no X10
guru (but definitely a veteran, one of my 1st X10 systems was based
around an X10 board (with ultrasonic sender, i think) in an Apple II
circa 1980, ha).
