Does anyone have any thoughts on controlling an X10 Firecracker

interface? I think I can put something together in java to control it,

maybe as a mxj, maybe as a UDP server, but I'd just like to know if

anyone has had any related experience with this device.

Or maybe there's a finished external out there somewhere that hasn't

I wasn't able to communicate with the Firecracker using the serial object in Max because it uses a non-standard protocol, it sends messgages to pins the serial object can't adress. I have instead decided to access it using Python which is really simple, there is a Python module made for the Firecracker and it works #1.
