X10 is a standard, not a company. Well, there may be a company that
has hijacked the name. But there are certainly other companies
building x10 based products.

Actually, it is now both. The original X-10 stuff I bought was under the
BSR label and was sold by DAK out of California. Later, Radio Shack had it,
then Sears, probably others. They the X-10 company came along and they sell
it over the web. I have no idea how long they have been around.

Home Link is a similar system and has some compatibilty. I can even turn a
couple of house lights on from my car with the built in system.

I did not know it was a standart though. Thanks for that info.
