Well, now we have at least *one* credible report of problems.  (-:

It would be quite surprising if Lighthouse worked in XP but not Win98 but
stranger things have happened!  If Carl's still reading I hope he tells us
what software and version he's using to control the CP290.  If the posts
that I referenced in my reply to Dan are to be believe, even X-10 was
telling people the CP290 wouldn't run on anything faster than a 100 MHz
Pentium.
