I didn't think to try this when I was testing the Insteon starter kit.

Page 35 of the Insteon whitepaper (released after I returned the starter kit
to Martin Custer at AutomatedOutlet.com) implies that Insteon receivers can
'hear' an Insteon signal even if there is an X-10 signal present at the same
time.

If anyone has Insteon, a TM751 & an HR12A they can test this by holding down
a Dim or Bright button on the HR12A while sending an Insteon command.

I'm not much impressed by press releases. I prefer hands on technical stuff.

"Statistics" should also include sales .PDF's!
