I suspect that a lot of us will be interested in seeing your driver when its
finished.

As for the lockups, I gather that it is about par for the course with a
CM11A. It's a recurring thread on comp.home.automation and no one seems to
have a total handle on what really is going on, though everyone agrees that
they wish X-10 would address the problem with a hardware upgrade.

As it is, I've now got heyu working, so my next step is to look into,
"xtend" which will allow conditional processing based on monitoring of the
CM11A.
