Add to that: recent x10 hardware that I've bought has worked with standard serial w/o special x10 drivers. Simple python (or perl) scripts reading the serial port are sufficient to talk to it. IIRC, the x10 computer interface was $19.95 or so. That might have included shipping. It's even fully bidirectional.
